🎉 Exciting News from the Burkhart Center! 🎉
This year, the Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research — under the leadership of Director Dr. Jennifer Hamrick — was awarded funding to host a Special Education Research Workshop right here at Texas Tech!
This three-day event brought together faculty and students from across TTU and TTUHSC to broaden our collective knowledge of research methodologies in special education and spark new interdisciplinary collaborations for future projects.
We were honored to welcome Dr. Brittany Hott and her incredible team from the University of Oklahoma, who led our group in deep discussions around research standards, single-case design, and best practices for building impactful research agendas — especially in rural education settings.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this workshop such a success. Here's to building a stronger research community and creating better educational outcomes for students with disabilities! ❤️🖤

The presentation may be over, but the impact continues! ⭐️
A big thank you to Lynne Hyman for leading an insightful and hands-on session at the 2025 Texas Autism Conference in Austin last week. Behavior basics and practical strategies to use within the home and community environment were shared with the families and caregivers who attended. Stay tuned for more events and additional resources throughout the year!
