Michelle Y. Kibby is Assistant Professor of Psychology (Clinical Psychology, cross-appointed with Brain & Cognitive Science) with a cross-appointment at the School of Medicine. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Memphis in 1998 with specialized training in clinical neuropsychology and child-clinical psychology. She interned at Brown University, specializing in both areas. She completed a clinical post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at the Medical College of Georgia and a research post-doctoral fellowship in child neuropsychology at the University of Georgia under George W. Hynd. Dr. Kibby has two lines of research. One entails investigation of children with dyslexia and/or ADHD from a neuropsychological perspective. The other entails examination of differences in brain morphology and function between typically developing children and those with dyslexia or ADHD using structural MRI and ERP. This line of research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NIH/NICHD)
