He is also principal investigator of three Federally-funded research and development projects addressing: 1) peer mentoring interventions to support successful community re-entry for individuals with disabilities resulting from traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries; 2) development and validation of mobile (mHealth) “apps” to support health and wellness outcomes; and 3) research and development of information and communication technologies for mobile delivery of medical rehabilitation (mRehab) interventions.

Mike received his Ph.D. in child psychology (with an emphasis in applied behavior analysis) from the University of Kansas, where he also served as associate director of the Research and Training Center on Independent Living from 1983 to 1988.
