She has worked in the field of deafblindness since 1991, having held positions at Perkins School for the Blind in the Deafblind Department, and the Florida DeafBlind project prior to returning to Michigan, her home state. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Boston and her master’s degree in Special Education, with a specialization in deafblindness, from Boston College. She led teams to develop four of the Open Hands Open Access (OHOA) training modules available on the National Center on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB). She completed the Educational Leadership PhD Program at Central Michigan University studying the process of how interveners learn to support students who are deafblind in school settings for her dissertation. Dr. Kennedy is currently engaged in writing projects on the topic of interveners and intervener training and hopes to find ways to continue her research in these areas.
