About
Katie Herron, PhD is the Director of the Early Childhood Center (ECC) at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community at Indiana University. Dr. Herron has a background in Clinical Psychology and completed her PhD in a program emphasizing research and family relationships. Her focus shifted to disability and early intervention during graduate school when her son was born with a disability. Since then, she has worked within Indiana’s early intervention system in multiple roles and as part of a grant to train families to become effective advocates. Since starting at the ECC in 2013, she has focused on partnering with local, regional, and state systems to improve the quality of early intervention and early education using evidence-based family-centered practices, including promoting high-quality family engagement, high family expectations for young children with disabilities, and the importance of infant/early childhood mental health.
