In the summer of 2025, they interned with the Arnett Laboratory in the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience, Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital, where they supported pediatric ADHD research. Their work included scoring behavioral questionnaires, conducting caregiver follow-ups in a longitudinal study, and shadowing research staff during child study visits. Continuing on campus, they also work at the Wellesley Community Children’s Center, assisting lead teachers and fostering socio-emotional development from infancy to preschool. Following the fall semester, AC will study abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, where they will explore theories of child development and models for providing support to children and families in Scandinavia. AC’s aim upon graduation is to accommodate and advocate for young learners with neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities in the classroom using international approaches.
