Gabby Crowell is a fourth-year doctoral student in Special Education. She received a B.A. in psychology from the University of Montana in 2015 and her M.Ed. in Special Education from Gonzaga University in 2018.
Before coming to Vanderbilt, she spent five years providing direct behavior analytic services in both the home and clinic settings to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other related disabilities. During that time, she also coached parents and behavior technicians on intervention implementation and collaborated with other medical professionals about medication management based on behavior data trends.
Gabby’s current research interests center around developing socially valid interventions and assessments for children who engage in interfering behavior in the classroom setting. She has additional interests in the processes around medication prescription for individuals with ASD, the impact of play interventions on students’ activity preference and interfering behavior, and the interaction patterns between teachers and their students who engage in interfering behavior.
A fun fact about Gabby is that she and her sister completed the 500-mile El Camino de Santiago in 30 days in 2016. They were given the nickname “Camino Hermanas” by a kind man they met along the way!
