Recruiting Students for a NJ-based Study

This study is currently recruiting students that are undergoing Career and Technical Education (vocational education, trade school programs).

The goal of the project is to create a toolkit that will support students undergoing CTE programs that have mental health conditions successfully complete those programs and seek meaningful employment. In order to refine this toolkit, we are looking for qualifying students to test it with. Please see the flyer for more information. If you have any questions, contact Dr. Ni Gao at gaoni@shp.rutgers.edu

See flyer for full information.

This interactive presentation will provide information on functional issues related to mental health conditions and academic barriers that arise for CTE students. Participants will leave with intentional strategies to strengthen executive functioning and understand how to develop accommodations to mitigate functional issues related to mental health conditions in higher education.

A Recent Publication

We’ve just been published in The Rehabilitation Professional Journal’s March 2022 edition. Our article focuses on how the IEI adapted their in-person training curriculum to remote trainings at the beginning of the pandemic and our insights since then.
