Dr. Gormley is currently accepting students for Fall 2024.
I am an Associate Professor in the School Psychology program. My research focuses on students at-risk for, or diagnosed with, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I am specifically interested in interventions that build collaboration between families, schools, and healthcare settings to support these students across their academic careers (e.g., elementary, secondary, and post-secondary). Currently, I am focused on two areas: (a) supporting students with ADHD across grade-level (e.g., 3rd to 4th grade) transitions using a collaborative parent-teacher consultative intervention (modified from Conjoint Behavioral Consultation); (b) I am interested in supporting students with ADHD as they transition to and complete their college education.
Currently, I teach our School Practice in School Psychology (EDPS 981) course and serve as the Faculty Representative to the UNL chapter of the Student Affiliates of School Psychology (SASP). I am also the University Connections and Ethics Chairperson for the Nebraska School Psychologists Association and serve on the Public Policy Committee of Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD), the largest national organization for individuals with ADHD.
