Item 40 Years of SBM and the Biopsychosocial Model: With Middle Age Comes Thinking of the Next Generation of Population Health – From Microbes to the Masses(Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2018) Maier, Karl; al’Absi, Mustafa; Persad-Clem, ReemaItem The Classroom Library as an Opportunity for Fostering Children’s Math Development(Maryland School Psychologists’ Association, 2020-07) Stites, Michele; Sonnenschein, SusanItem The College Crisis: Fiscal Constraints, Increased Demand and President Obama’s Call to Action(Public Administration Times, 2014) Naylor, LorendaThe U.S. higher education system is in a state of crisis. It is addressing what is called “the iron triangle,” which includes cost, access and quality. Cost includes rising tuition and proliferating student loan debt. A consequence of rising cost is that it decreases access for middle and lower income students. Fewer students can afford to pay for college. Of those low-income students who attend college only 25 percent graduate within six years. The third component is quality. In the 2011 book, Academically Adrift, authors Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa argue that students do not get what they pay for in tuition; college courses do not increase student core competencies.Item The College Crisis: Fiscal Constraints, Increased Demand and President Obama’s Call to Action(American Society for Public Administration, 2014) Naylor, Lorenda AnnItem Helping Parents with Their Young Children’s Reading and Math Skills(Maryland School Psychologists’ Association, 2019-11) Sonnenschein, Susan; Stites, MicheleItem Increasing Adoption and Reducing the Number of Children in Foster Care in the U.S. and Abroad(Public Administration Times, 2013) Naylor, LorendaNovember is National Adoption Month. It is a time Americans celebrate adoptive families across the country. According to Barack Obama in his Presidential Proclamation of National Adoption Month, 2013 “[e]very young person deserves the chance to learn and grow under the care of a loving family. Across our Nation, adoptive families give that chance to over a million children and teenagers…We celebrate these families and stand alongside every child still looking for the warmth and stability of a permanent home.” There are two types of adoptions available to citizens: international and domestic. An overview of the two types is discussed below and is followed by a discussion of two recent federal public policies intended to increase the number of adoptions: the Adoption Tax Credit of 2012 and the Intercountry Adoption Universal Accreditation Act of 2012.Item Increasing Adoption and Reducing the Number of Children in Foster Care in the U.S. and Abroad(American Society for Public Administration, 2013) Naylor, Lorenda AnnItem Integrating Police Academy Training with Higher Education(Virginia Police Chief, 2000-01) Wyatt-Nichol, HeatherArticles in professional journals and discussion among law enforcement executives, educators and trainers reveal a heightened interest in the relationship between higher education and entry level law enforcement. This is certainly not a new concern but the renewed impetus may be driven by several factors. First, there has been a slow but continuous movement toward increased higher education requirements at entry level. Second, is the current emphasis on the community based policing philosophy and its inherent need for generalist problem-solvers. Finally, is the shift in the content of training to a more "academic" orientation. With this in mind we set out to research the current relationship at entry level between academies and institutions of higher education.Item It’s (Still) All About the Relationship: Relational Strategies in Clinical Supervision(The Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy, 2014) Friedlander, Myrna L.; Shaffer, Katharine S.In this article, we describe our view of effective interpersonal, or process-oriented, supervision, by discussing how supervisors can bring about meaningful change in their supervisees through the use of specific relational strategies. As our view evolved from earlier theoretical and empirical literature on the supervision process, we begin our comments with a brief mention of some of this literature and then move to a more focused discussion of my (Friedlander) perspective on supervisor responsiveness, which I believe is at the heart of effective supervision. The article concludes with my (Shaffer) reflections on becoming a clinical supervisor, having researched relationally-oriented supervision for my dissertation.Item The Lesser Known Impacts of COVID19(Maryland School Psychologists’ Association, 2020-05) Sonnenschein, SusanItem A Long-term View of Bilingualism: Lessons from a Summer Abroad(Channel View Publications, 2009) Shin, Sarah J.Item Math on the Path to STEM Fields(Maryland School Psychologists’ Association, 2020-07) Thompson, Joy A.; Sonnenschein, SusanItem Parents of children receiving special education services during distance learning are worried: School psychologists can help(Maryland School Psychologists’ Association, 2021-08) Stites, Michele; Sonnenschein, Susan; Grossman, Julie A.; Galczyk, Samantha H.Item Providing Access to Preventive Health Care: Child Health and EPSDT(American Society for Public Administration, 2013) Naylor, Lorenda AnnFormer South African President Nelson Mandela stated that “there can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way it treats its children.” As a nation, children are our greatest resource and providing them with health coverage is critical for child development. If we want children to grow up to be healthy, well adjusted, productive citizens, then we must take care of their basic needs. No other federal policy has done more to advance the health and well-being of low-income children than Medicaid (also known as Title XIX). For 45 years Medicaid has provided comprehensive and preventive health care to U.S. low-income children through a special benefits program known as Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT). EPSDT is the child health component of Medicaid. It provides pediatric services to low-income children under age 21 who qualify for Medicaid. Today, 1 in 3 children under age 6 qualify for Medicaid. Enacted by the Social Security Act Amendments of 1967 (Section 302 (a) P.L. 90-248), the program was originally created to address the high rejection rates of military draftees, who suffered from untreated and preventable childhood illnesses (Rowland, Diane. Medicaid at Forty. Health Care Financing Review. Winter 2005-2006 Volume 27 (2): 63-77). Since this time EPSDT has provided comprehensive health coverage to low-income children. Approximately 29 million children receive Medicaid today.

Windsor (570 U.S. 2013) and Hollingsworth, et al., v. Kristin M. Perry (570 U.S. 2013). Known as the “Rainbow Rulings” and the “Twin Victories,” these two cases advance both gay rights and civil rights. The Windsor case struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) of 1996 (Pub L. 104-199), which defined marriage at the federal level as between a man and a woman; rendering the definition unconstitutional. As a result, federal benefits must be instated to married gay couples.Item Rainbow Rulings: Separate But Equal Is Unconstitutional(American Society for Public Administration, 2013) Naylor, Lorenda Ann; Wyatt-Nichol, HeatherItem SCOTUS Delivers Color Blind Ruling: The Dismantling of the Voting Rights Act of 1965(American Society for Public Administration, 2013) Naylor, Lorenda AnnItem Supporting young children’s math development at home(Maryland School Psychologists’ Association, 2018-08) Dowling, Rebecca; Metzger, Shari R.; Sonnenschein, Susan
