Kelly M. Schieltz, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Stead Family Department of Pediatrics at the University of Iowa. She is a licensed psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 15 years of experience evaluating and treating, in a brief outpatient clinic, severe and challenging behavior displayed by children with and without developmental disabilities. Throughout her career, she has worked on a variety of federally-funded and state-funded research and service grants that focused on training parents and school professionals on behavior analytic procedures in-vivo and via telehealth. Her research interests include two areas. First, she trains parents in their homes via telehealth to conduct treatment procedures to decrease the occurrence of their child’s challenging behavior. Second, she evaluates behavioral persistence and treatment relapse for both challenging behavior and academic behavior when treatment is challenged.
