Mary Barczak is an Assistant Professor in the Special Education program within the Department of Educational Psychology at The University of Oklahoma's Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education. Her primary research focuses on transition planning for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, workforce participation interventions, and preparing educators and paraeducators through technology-based and systematic instructional practices. She also investigates inclusive education strategies and peer-mediated interventions to enhance social and academic outcomes for students with severe disabilities.
Her work emphasizes practical applications in educational settings, including studies on paraeducator training effectiveness, peer network interventions for students with complex communication needs, and the use of visual supports to teach vocational skills. Dr. Barczak's research consistently addresses gaps between evidence-based practices and real-world implementation, particularly in supporting educators to better serve marginalized student populations.
