Breanna Winder
Breanna is a psychology intern in the autism track at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and a LEND fellow at CHOP. She will be continuing her training next year (2013-2014) at CHOP as a post-doctoral fellow in autism at the Center for Autism Research. Breanna is a doctoral candidate in the Clinical Developmental Psychology PhD program at Bryn Mawr College. She completed her master’s thesis on gesture, vocalization, and toy play as possible early indices of autism. Following the completion of that project, she received an Autism Speaks fellowship to continue her research on infants at heightened risk for developing autism with a focus on temperament. This led to her dissertation, which is also on temperament in infant siblings. In the clinical realm, Breanna is particularly interested in early identification, early intervention and school-based interventions, and the role of anxious and attentional symptomatology on ASD treatment outcome.
