Carly Magnacca

MA Student, York University

Carly is currently completing her MA in clinical-developmental psychology at York University. She also works as a Research Analyst at the Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre within the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Carly’s research focuses on evidence-based interventions for individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities and those that support these individuals (i.e., caregivers and clinicians). Her previous master’s thesis (in applied disability studies) focused on training mediators to facilitate acceptance and commitment training (ACT) exercises to caregivers of individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities using a telecommunication format, and she is continuing research on this topic at the Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre.
