Jessica Kaczorowski

Jessica Kaczorowski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at California Polytechnic State University. Her research focuses on brain-behavior relationships in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, intellectual disability, and genetic syndromes. She holds a B.A. in Psychology from UC San Diego, a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from UNC Greensboro, and completed postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital and a predoctoral internship at Johns Hopkins University.

Her work integrates developmental psychopathology perspectives to examine neuropsychological factors in neurodevelopmental conditions. Key research areas include genetic risk factors, prenatal influences on neurodevelopmental disorders, and clinical service adaptations for vulnerable populations such as refugees. She has presented at conferences like the National Academy of Neuropsychology and published in journals like Schizophrenia Research and Psychiatry Research.

Publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to understanding complex disorders, including multi-omic analyses of ADHD risk and neuroimaging studies of genetic syndromes. Her work bridges clinical practice with research, advocating for culturally responsive interventions. Current efforts prioritize neuropsychological assessment methodologies in neurodevelopmental populations.
