We would like to give a very warm welcome to our new Secretary, Theodore Tomeny! We are happy to have you on our team!
Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Ted lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and is an Associate Professor of Psychology at The University of Alabama. Ted’s interests in siblings are both personal and professional, primarily inspired by his brother who has developmental disabilities. Ted’s research focuses on the experiences of family members of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), with a particular focus on siblings and caregivers. In addition to the SLN, Ted is involved with a variety of professional organizations focused on developmental disabilities, including Alabama’s Council on Developmental Disabilities. He is married with two young children and, in his spare time, enjoys watching terrible reality TV and working in his yard.
