Dr. Anne Marie Perrotti is a certified speech-language pathologist with a PhD in Special Education. She dedicates her research to bridging disciplinary perspectives using interprofessional collaborative partnerships to create and implement novel solutions promoting equity in academic, behavioral, occupational, or justice related outcomes for historically excluded youth or young adults. Dr. Perrotti has two primary research strands: 1) advocacy for and access to behavioral and cognitive-communicative supports for youth-at-risk for justice involvement; and 2) access to education or training in highly marketable skills (e.g. STEM education) for justice involved youth and equity-seeking students. Her areas of expertise are executive functions, cognitive-communication disorders in neurodevelopmental disabilities (i.e. ADHD and ASD), interprofessional education, interprofessional practice, voice disorders, and mentoring undergraduate research. Dr. Perrotti has won two teaching awards and has mentored several undergraduate students through presentations and publications. She is committed to advocacy efforts for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
