Hello, and welcome to my website. My name is Steven Landau. I am a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Illinois State University. My major academic assignment is with the Specialist (SSP) and Ph.D. programs in School Psychology. Specfic information regarding professional School Psychology can be found at Who Are School Psychologists? page. Our university was the first in the state of Illinois to train school psychologists, with program inception dating to the 1950s. Both SSP and Ph.D. programs are approved by the National Associaton of School Psychologists (NASP), and our Ph.D. program is approved by the American Psychological Association (APA). The School Psychology division of APA is Division 16. School Psychology career information can be found at the NASP Career Center. Most of my research focuses on children with Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and I am particularly interested in the peer problems experienced by ADHD children. Many of my students are conducting research in that area as well. Here is a helpful ADHD handbook for parents and teachers, published by the National Institute of Mental Health, that you can download as a pdf file. In addition, here's a link to the Center for Children and Families at the State Univeristy of New York at Buffalo. This center is under the direction of Dr. William E. Pelham, a leading expert in ADHD research. This link will give you access to extensive information prepared for parents and teachers, as well as numerous downloadable forms for assessment and treatment-monitoring of children with ADHD. Finally, the U.S. Department of Special Education/Office of Special Education Programs recently released an excellent resource that describes school-based best-practice in academic instruction, behavioral intervention, and classroom accommodations for students with ADHD. This handout, Teaching children with Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Instructional strategies and practices, can also be downloaded as a pdf file. Currrently, I serve as Co-chair of the Research Committee of NASP, as well as Associate Editor of the NASP Communiqué. In terms of my personal interests, I am an avid sea kayaker and own a vintage BMW motorcycle. |
