Very good news, I now have 2 judges.
Dr. Cullum forwarded me to Dr. Heidi Rossetti who agreed to help me on my project.
Background on Dr. Rossetti: Dr. Rossetti obtained her undergraduate degree in Clinical Psychology at UT Dallas in 2003 with highest honors and earned her Master of Science degree at UT Southwestern in Rehabilitation Counseling Psychology. She went on to obtain her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at UT Southwestern where she served as Chief Resident. Dr. Rossetti completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in Neuropsychology at the University of Virginia from 2010 to 2012 where she served as Chief Fellow. She joined the UT Southwestern Faculty in 2012 where her departmental activities include neuropsychological/cognitive evaluation of persons with known or suspected neurological disorders.
Dr. Rossetti's clinical expertise is in the area of neuropsychological assessment, with particular interest in working with individuals who have dementia, movement disorders, sports concussion, and brain injury. Dr. Rossetti's research focuses on the relationship between vascular risk factors and development of mild cognitive impairment and dementia, as well as the early detection of mild cognitive impairment via neuropsychological screening measures.
Dr. Chapman forwarded me to Dr. Lori Cook who agreed to help me on my project.
Background on Dr. Cook: Dr. Cook, a certified speech-language pathologist since 2003, specializes in conducting research and clinical cognitive-linguistic evaluations as well as interventions with children with neurologic communication disorders. Currently, Dr. Cook oversees the pediatric brain injury research programs at the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas, including coordination of two studies involving specialized evaluation and cognitive intervention for children and adolescents with acquired brain injury.
Dr. Cook has also served as site research coordinator for a National Institutes of Health-funded study investigating the long-term recovery of higher-level language skills as well as executive function abilities (e.g., self-regulation, planning, problem-solving) after brain injury, contributing to the development of new assessment and intervention tools. Additionally, she has been involved in studies examining working memory function and social cognition abilities during functional brain imaging (fMRI).
Overall, her research is focused on understanding the rehabilitative effects of long-term follow-up care, with the hope of developing a successful format for identifying, monitoring, and maximizing the potential of children with acquired brain injuries in order to help them be successful in their home, school, and community environments.
