Brandon K. Schultz, Ed.D., NCSP is Director of Clinical and Consultative Services at the Alvin V. Baird Attention and Learning Disabilities Center (ALDC) at James Madison University.  Dr. Schultz provides clinical services for local families, clinical support for ongoing research projects in the ALDC, and teaches Child Psychopathology (Psyc 452) for JMU’s undergraduate psychology department.

Bio:

Dr. Schultz graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with an Ed.D., in school psychology in 2008 after successfully defending his dissertation on the Challenging Horizons Program – Consultation Model (CHP-C).   Before earning his doctoral degree, he earned Master’s degrees in school counseling and educational psychology, and worked in a community-based psychosocial rehabilitation program in Maryland (Channel Marker, Inc.) for adolescents and adults with severe mental illness.  Dr. Schultz was hired full-time by the ALDC in the fall of 2003 and he started teaching in the undergraduate program as an adjunct professor in 2004.  In 2006, he received National Certification in School Psychology (NCSP).
Dr. Schultz has received several accolades during his career.  In his first year of his doctoral program, he was awarded the 14th Annual IUP Foundation Doctoral Fellowship. In his second year, he was awarded a teaching assistantship and taught Educational Psychology 102 to undergraduate teacher candidates at IUP.  Dr. Schultz is currently a member of the National Association of School Psychologists and the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and a former member of Phi Delta Kappa and Psi Chi honor societies.
Dr. Schultz co-authors grants for the ALDC. Most recently, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) provided a grant to expand the after-school version of the CHP.
