University of Houston-Clear Lake’s Associate Professors of Behavior Analysis, Jennifer Fritz and Sarah Lechago, have been diligently applying for – and receiving – external grants and contract funding to support graduate assistantships in local school districts and in many other programs, since 2008 and 2010, respectively.
In May, both Lechago and Fritz learned their efforts had culminated in receiving an honor reserved for the faculty’s top money-raisers: entrance into UHCL’s $1 Million Club, as acknowledged by the Office of Sponsored Programs.
“We are just thrilled about this,” Fritz said. “Some of the funding has been used to support our work at UHCL’s Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, the Severe Behavior Disorders Research Clinic, the Autism Center at Texas Children’s Hospital, the Verbal Behavior Clinic, and the Connecting the Dots program.”
Fritz serves as the director of CADD’s Severe Behavior Disorders Research Clinic and of the Behavior Analysis Program at Texas Children’s Autism Center. Lechago serves as the director of CADD’s Verbal Behavior Clinic and Verbal Behavior Clinic tele-health program, which will launch in June of 2018.
“We have also received funding for graduate assistantships to Avondale House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing individuals with autism training and education,” Lechago said.
