Becky Knickelbein’s current research explores the use of semester-long case studies in improving students understanding of the family dynamics when a child has special needs. She recently completed a study addressing the collaboration between special educators and educational audiologist now being prepared for publication. Currently Knickelbein is also conducting the program evaluation of the IUP Promise Plus program funded by the Heinz Endowment.
