In addition, Dr. Hain holds a certificate of completion in cognitive behavior therapy and as a brain injury specialist. Dr. Hain’s research with others has culminated in multiple peer reviewed publications (journal articles and book chapters), invited local and national presentations (NASP, NJASP, Learning Disability Association of America, International Neuropsychological Society), and numerous poster presentations with students on the publication of their work. Using research to inform teaching and practice, she is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of School Psychology Review, the journal of the National Association of School Psychologists, this year receiving an Editorial Appreciation Award in recognition of outstanding contributions and service. She has been interviewed for the Reading Eagle on articles of local and national interest such as the anniversary of the Columbine tragedy. Dr. Hain is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Pennsylvania Psychological Association, the National Association of School Psychologists, and the American Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology. Recently, she joined the Teaching Brain Literacy Initiative – Center for Teaching Brain Literacy, a consortium for training, research, and service to advance the field of pediatric neuropsychology.

Dr. Hain’s practice is devoted to neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents. She has extensive training and experience in the evaluation of learning disorders, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, TBI, and in the treatment of various mental health disorders. Dr. Hain applies a brain-behavior paradigm in assessment and treatment by identifying a pattern of neurodevelopmental strengths and weaknesses and then linking this pattern to individualized instruction and emotional, motivational, and behavioral interventions. She is deeply grateful to work in this field and continues to be fascinated by the resilience of individuals to overcome and succeed when being supported by evidence-based instruction and intervention that stems from brain science and literacy.

Dr. Hain enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and practicing Hinduism. She has a love for the New England Patriots and pugs!
