Bio:

Katrina N. Rhymer, Ph.D. received her Ph.D. in School Psychology from Mississippi State University in 2000. She completed her internship at the Houston Independent School District in Houston, TX.  She has been at Central Michigan University since 2000.

Research Interest:

My research involves examining academic interventions used with children. The majority of my research has involved examining the explicit timing intervention and the interspersal intervention for mathematics. I am also interested in consultation, social/emotional issues, and gay and lesbian issues. Also, I teach Intelligence Testing and Consultation.
