Biography
Lisa Boyce, Ph.D., received her B.S. and M.Ed. from Idaho State University and her Ph.D. in Family and Human Development from Utah State University. For her dissertation project, Lisa studied the interactions and play behaviors of mothers of infants with disabilities.
Research Interests
My research interests include early language development, emergent literacy, parent-child interaction, parent supports of children's language and regulation skills, program evaluation, early childhood professional development, and early intervention. My research is primarily quantitative with at-risk populations. Current projects: development and examination of the effectiveness of a classroom bookmaking and peer coaching intervention on Head Start children’s school readiness skills, dissemination of the Storytelling for the Home Enrichment of Language and Literacy Skills (SHELLS) curriculum developed with Migrant families, evaluation of the new initial education curriculum in Ecuador, and examination of predictors of early language and literacy development of dual language learners.
