Kimberly Maich
Professor & Researcher, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Kimberly Maich is a professor, researcher, author, trainer, certified teacher, special education specialist, board-certified behaviour analyst (doctoral)—specializing in autism spectrum disorder in inclusive classroom settings. She began her position in the Faculty of Education at Memorial University in December 2016 and is now a tenured full professor.
Kimberly has studied, taught, and lived from coast-to-coast in Canada from Vancouver, B.C., to St. Anthony, NL, and many places in-between. She spent most of her early career as a resource teacher, supporting students with exceptionalities from Kindergarten to Grade 12. She has also been a clinical coordinator with McMaster Children’s Hospital’s ASD School Support Program (Hamilton, ON) and a tenured Associate Professor at Brock University (Niagara, ON).
I am a special education specialist, a certified teacher, a registered psychologist (provisional, master’s level), a professor and Newfoundland and Labrador’s first board certified behaviour analyst.
Kimberley’s primary interests lie in disabilities and special education, with a focus on autism spectrum disorders in inclusive school environments. She also works in the areas of emotional/behavioural disorders, problem behaviour, applied behaviour analysis, assistive technology, inclusive school leadership and the early years. One of Kimberley’s greatest joys in the professorship role is mentoring graduate students in research, writing, presentations and publications.
