Postdoctoral Scholar Amy Hartman, PhD, Receives Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation Fellowship
Congratulations to Amy Hartman, PhD, who has received a Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation Fellowship! The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation awards fellowship grants annually to outstanding postdoctoral scholars who are investigating the causes, prevention, and treatment of children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or depression. Dr. Hartman is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department’s Center for Sleep and Circadian Science.
The Fellowship will help support her research examining the role of sensory over-responsivity (or being sensitive to sensory input) in bedtime challenges for children with ADHD, and their families. Dr. Hartman’s study will measure sensory over-responsivity using daily caregiver reports to assess how nightly measures of bedtime activity and sleep challenges (e.g., sleep onset delays, sleep fragmentation) may correlate. She will also test a novel caregiver-driven bedtime "power-down" intervention that was developed by blending sleep and sensory processing theories and aims to decrease sensory over-responsivity at bedtime.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Hartman!
