Emily Bouck

Emily Bouck is a Professor and Associate Dean for Research at the College of Education, Michigan State University. Her research focuses on mathematics education for students with disabilities and at-risk populations, emphasizing response to intervention (RtI), virtual manipulatives, and technology integration. She holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State University.

Her work addresses instructional strategies for students with disabilities, including virtual manipulatives, non-immersive VR, and evidence-based practices in math interventions. Key areas include life skills development, transition planning for students with intellectual disabilities, and online education post-pandemic. Bouck’s research spans elementary to secondary levels and explores topics like fraction instruction, algebra support, and computational fluency through games and technology.

Bouck advocates for inclusive education practices and has contributed to systematic reviews on math interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities. Her studies often compare virtual and concrete manipulatives, emphasizing accessibility and generalization of skills. Recent work highlights the use of video modeling, schema-based instruction, and collaborative teacher leadership in special education settings.

Her role as Associate Dean for Research underscores her commitment to advancing research in special education policies, transition services, and technology-driven solutions for students with extensive support needs.
