My research on aging deals with developmentally disabled older persons.

I have developed scales to assess these effects and to look at parameters of those persons most likely and least likely to develop side effects. We are also looking at different classes of antipsychotic and seizure drugs to determine which drugs produce what side effects and at what rate.
