70 refereed articles and chapters, and has conducted numerous invited and peer-reviewed presentations at national
conferences. Dr. Theodore received the Early Career Alumni Award from the University of Connecticut in 2009, in
part because of her national ranking as one of the top 20 most productive authors in school psychology. She was
Associate Editor for School Psychology Quarterly (2007–2012), one of the top-tier journals in the field, and currently
sits on the editorial boards of several national and international educational and psychological journals where she
provides professional reviews of manuscripts. Her scholarship and her practice focus on promoting science, practice,
and policy relevant to psychology and education. Dr. Theodore’s research, in particular, focuses on the development
of effective and efficient intervention strategies to improve students’ academic and behavioral functioning, which is
critically important to the field.
Dr. Theodore is active in Division 16 (School Psychology) of the American Psychological Association (APA), for
which she has served as Division co-chair and chair of the APA Annual Conference Hospitality Suite, co-chair and
chair of the Division’s Annual Convention program, and as a member of the Conversation/Videotape Series committee.
Dr. Theodore extended her contributions to APA in nationally elected positions, including Vice-President of Division
16 Membership (2006–2008), Vice President of Professional Affairs (2009–2011), and is currently the President of
the Division of School Psychology, additionally serving on the Division’s Executive Committee. Further, Dr. Theodore
served as the APA Representative to the Public Interest (PI) Directorate Network and was invited to serve as the
Division’s representative to co-write the 2012 School Psychology Petition to the Commission for the Recognition
of Specialties in Professional Psychology (CRSPP) within the APA. As an advocate for mental health services, Dr.
Theodore lobbied legislators on Capitol Hill for the passage of the Mental Health Parity Act in 2008, and most
recently, the Mental Health Reform Act (S. 1945) and Helping Families in Crisis Act (H.R. 2646) in November, 2015.
She has received several Outstanding Service awards and recognitions from the American Psychological Association
for her vast contributions.
