Robert Fox, Ph.D.向日葵视频MilwaukeeWI53201United States of Americarobert.fox@marquette.eduCurriculum VitaeFor over 40 years I have been interested in the topic of prevention. I have pursued this topic by working with families who have children five years of age and younger. I started by offering a series of parenting classes first to middle class families and later to families from low income backgrounds. In 2003, I founded the Behavior Clinic in partnership with , a community-based, Birth-to-Three agency. The Behavior Clinic offers an in home, evidence-based program to families with young children in poverty. In addition to serving over 400 children each year, we have trained over 100 graduate students in our clinical services. In addition, doctoral students contribute to our research mission through dissertations, convention presentations, and journal articles and book chapters. My secondary area of interest has been working with individuals with developmental disabilities.
At this time, I will not be advising any more doctoral students.
