Amazing Student: Maxine Covello
Maxine Covello (Ph.D. ’29) aims to address disparities in education and healthcare systems by using interventions tailored to families’ unique needs. Her volunteer work at the Athens nonprofit Love.Craft guides her research interests, while simultaneously deepening her understanding of gaps in support for adults with disabilities.
“I hope to identify disparities and develop interventions that will increase access to autism services for underrepresented families,” said Covello. “I intend to do so by using a culturally responsive framework to develop responsive systems for every family’s needs.”
