Dr. Huete's primary research interests are identifying early risk factors associated with the emergence of self-injurious behavior in infants and children, and therapeutic techniques to deliver behavioral treatments to caregivers. Current research focuses on identification of risk factors associated with the onset and persistence of self-injurious behavior in young children, provision of early behavioral treatment for self-injury, development of early intervention and prevention models for severe behavior disorders, evaluation of the effects of idiosyncratic factors on the results of functional analyses and the role of motivation and readiness to change in behavioral services.
