Dr. Shulamite Green is a licensed clinical psychologist and a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA’s Semel Institute. Dr. Green received a doctoral degree in clinical psychology at UCLA and has been involved in research and clinical work related to autism for over a decade, including training at Boston University’s Studies to Advance Autism Research and Treatment (STAART), Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), and UCLA’s Autism Center of Excellence. Dr. Green is currently working at the UCLA Ahmanson-Lovelace Brain Mapping Center with Dr. Mirella Dapretto and Dr. Susan Bookheimer, researching the neurobiological bases of sensory over-responsivity in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dr. Green conducted some of the first fMRI work demonstrating brain differences in children with ASD specifically related to sensory over-responsivity, and she has continued to build on this work to identify how certain brain areas contribute to these difficulties and interfere with attention and social functioning. In the near future, she will be expanding her research to examine sensory processing difficulties in other groups, including children with anxiety and children adopted from foster care, with the ultimate goal of improving identification and treatment of sensory issues across multiple populations.
