Biography

Jennifer Holloway is Director of the PhD and MSc in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).  Dr. Holloway is a certified behaviour analyst and a chartered psychologist who has worked in the treatment of autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disorders for over twenty years. Her clinical experience extends to include; early intensive behavioural intervention (EIBI), mainstream inclusion programmes and the provision of positive behaviour supports for individuals who present with problem behaviour  She is a member of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI),  Division of Behaviour Analysis in Ireland, and is the Vice President of the Standard Celeration Society (International). Her research interests include early intensive behavioural intervention and autism, family supports (parent and sibling), challenging behaviour, mainstream inclusion supports, screening for children ‘at risk’ for autism diagnosis, behavioural fluency instruction for positive academic outcomes and verbal behaviour.

Research Interests

  • Developing evidence based interventions to support adults with ASD to transition to the workplace
  • Evaluating the outcomes of Behaviour Fluency on academic and self-management repertoires for individuals with learning disabilities
  • Investigating procedures for improving language skills in children with autism spectrum (ASD)
  • Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention for children with ASD. Investigating treatment and client predictors of best outcomes.
  • Investigating and developing family supports for children with developmental disorders (effects of parent education and sibling supports)
  • Behavioural Interventions to improve social skills deficits in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Developing and testing interventions for meaningful social inclusion for children with additional needs such as ASD
  • Evaluating the effects of virtual reality (VR) technology on social communication skills for individuals with ASD transitioning to the workplace
  • Application of behaviour analysis to improve socially significant behaviour across populations and settings
