Maithri Sivaraman
I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. I received my Master’s in Psychology from the University of Madras in India and a Ph.D in Psychology from Ghent University in Belgium at the Research in Developmental Disorders Lab where I studied the early social and verbal repertoires in young children with and without special needs. My research falls under three broad domains – (a) generative verbal behavior, (b) children’s socio-emotional development, and (c) cultural adaptations made to support services.

I currently serve as an Associate Editor for the Psychological Record and on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. Prior to my current position, I established the Tendrils Centre for Autism in Chennai, India offering behavioral services for children with special needs. I serve as a consultant for multiple early intervention centres in India and Europe, and as the Treasurer for the Association for Science in Autism Treatment. With Dr. Tricia Skoler, I blog on early childhood development for Psychology Today.

None of my work would be possible without my collaborators around the world and the families of the children that we serve.
