Dr. Trina D. Spencer, PhD, BCBA-D is a senior scientist and director of the Juniper Gardens Children’s Project at University of Kansas and holds faculty appointments in the Departments of Applied Behavioral Sciences, Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, and Special Education. Drawing from speech-language pathology, applied linguistics, education, and behavior analysis, she concentrates her efforts on the oral academic language that serves as a foundation to the reading and writing of preK to 3rd grade students, with and without disabilities. She maintains a spirited research agenda that has yielded 76 peer review publications, 182 invited presentations, $15M in external funding, and several commercialized curricula, interventions, professional development systems, and assessment tools. Her multi-tiered interventions and assessment tools are used broadly in the United States, but also internationally.

Dr. Spencer values researcher-practitioner partnerships, community engagement, and cross disciplinary collaborations to accomplish high impact and innovative applied research.

Dr. Gretchen Scheibel, PhD, OTR, BCBA is an Assistant Research Professor at Juniper Gardens Children’s Project (JGCP). Dr. Scheibel earned her PhD in Special Education with a focus on cost analysis and evidence-based practices, additionally she is dually-certified in occupational therapy and behavior analysis. Prior to pursuing her doctorate, Dr. Scheibel spent over 15 years supporting children on the autism spectrum who exhibit severe and dangerous behaviors in rural and low-resource school districts across the United States. Her research is driven by her time in the classroom to explore and overcome common barriers encountered by teachers when implementing effective interventions for students with severe and dangerous behaviors. Dr. Scheibel’s research uses using quantitative and economic evaluation research methods to target three areas:

1) identifying the conditions that promote and sustain intervention effectiveness, 2) examining the cost and feasibility of implementing effective interventions in low-resource educational environments, and 3) exploring how intervention effect and cost can influence decisions to adopt or continue the use of effective interventions.
