معرفی
Denise Foran Conn is a Lecturer in Behavioural Analysis at The North Wales School of Education within the School of Psychology & Sport Science. She actively supervises PhD students and maintains a consistent research trajectory from 2015 through 2024, focusing on evidence-based interventions in educational settings.
Her research centers on Applied Behaviour Analysis for neurodiverse learners, with specialized expertise in autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities. Key investigations include comparative analyses of prompting methodologies (least-to-most, no-no, prompt delay), function-based interventions, and implementation barriers in special needs schools. This work bridges clinical behaviour analysis with practical classroom applications, particularly within the Welsh educational context.
Publications across 2015-2024 reveal evolving emphasis from foundational ABA implementation in special schools (2015) to technical comparisons of prompting procedures (2021) and contemporary exploration of teacher decision-making frameworks regarding challenging behaviours (2024). This progression demonstrates growing complexity in examining systemic and perceptual factors affecting intervention fidelity.

Dr. Foran Conn currently accepts PhD candidates, indicating active supervision capacity. Her publication record in peer-reviewed journals including Behavioral Interventions and the British Journal of Special Education establishes scholarly contribution, though specific grant funding details remain undisclosed. The 2024 conference contribution suggests ongoing engagement with practitioner perspectives in Welsh educational settings.
