Child Development/Education and Technology POIs?

[legoac]

I am hoping someone out there will be able to point me in the right direction. I am very interested in the development and application of technology in child development and child psychology. Basically, I am interested in both normal and abnormal development and how technology (especially computer and mobile apps) can be used in pre-k and elementary education, to encourage development, and in various forms of therapy (behaviorally therapy, occupational therapy, etc).

I know that there must be professors out there studying this, but I am not sure how to find them. Does anybody have any leads for any schools or professors in the US or Canada that fit into this general area? Professors in Psychology, Information Sciences, Human-Computer Interaction, and Human Factors are all fair game.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Just as a suggestion, have you considered SImon Fraser University in BC? They have an autism and developmental disorders laboratory that might be of interest to you : http://autismlab.psyc.sfu.ca/ .
