Lauren Moskowitz is a Clinical Psychology Intern at the NYU Child Study Center. Ms. Moskowitz specializes in parent training and in the treatment of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), anxiety disorders, and disruptive behavior disorders.

Ms. Moskowitz received her B.S. in human development from Cornell University. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology at Stony Brook University and is expected to graduate in June 2012.

Ms. Moskowitz's research focuses on intervention effectiveness with children in naturalistic contexts (i.e., home, school, in the community). Her master's thesis demonstrated that behaviorally-based interventions targeting specific problematic contexts reduced problem behavior and improved quality of life for children with fragile X syndrome and their families. Ms. Moskowitz's dissertation uses a multi-method assessment that includes behavioral, psychophysiological, and contextual data to assess and treat anxiety in children with ASD in a variety of different situations.

Prior to beginning her internship at the CSC, Ms. Moskowitz worked as a therapist providing individual therapy, group therapy, parent training, family therapy, couples therapy, and school consultation at the Stony Brook University Psychological Center, the Stony Brook University Anxiety Clinic, and the Columbia University Clinic for Anxiety and Related Disorders. She was also a fellow for the Family Behavior Support Program, where she provided treatment to families of children with ASD and other developmental disabilities. In addition, Ms. Moskowitz has taught several undergraduate and graduate courses.

Ms. Moskowitz has presented her research at several professional conferences, including the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and the International Conference on Positive Behavior Support. Her work has been published in the American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.
