| 2025-Present | Stakeholders Perceptions of Good Deaf Education Leadership Survey and focus groups of stakeholders to define what “good” leadership looks like in Deaf Education.

| 2024-Present | Deaf School Leadership: What We Know and What We Don’t Comprehensive literature review of research into Deaf educational leadership to understand what the field knows and doesn’t from the research.

| 2023-2024 (In Press) | “Avoiding Unintended Consequences: Science of Reading Policies Potentially Harm Deaf Children” A research-backed discussion of the fallacy of the Science of Reading’s assumptions that (1) all skilled reading requires a phonological route and (2) all children benefit from instruction in phonological awareness and phonics. The article discusses the various ways that Deaf readers access English print and the potential harm of instruction based solely on the two assumptions. | Naomi Caselli, Boston University |
| 2024 | Picture-Based One-Sign Vocabulary Test Development of an ASL-driven one-word picture vocabulary test to use as part of the assessment of a student’s language. Frustrated by the non-ASL nature and subjectivity of the non-Deaf-normed EOWPVT, PPVT, PVT, etc., assessments, began development of an Deaf picture vocabulary test that was based on ASL signs and word lists deemed most frequent and vital to reading skill. | Utah School for the Deaf |
