Dr. Reagan McGee is an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Department of Applied Behavioral Science at the University of Kansas. She serves as a faculty supervisor for the Edna A. Hill Child Development Center, where she supervises behavior-analytic early childhood education and applied behavior analysis services for typically developing children and children with a range of developmental, behavioral, and learning needs. Her professional interests include early intervention, communication and language development, the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior, and the training and supervision of behavior-analytic practitioners.

Dr. McGee is a licensed and board-certified behavior analyst at the doctoral level and has more than ten years of clinical experience working with children and teenagers with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Prior to joining the University of Kansas, she held leadership positions in private applied behavior analysis programs, including serving as a Clinical Director and Chief Clinical Officer.

Dr. McGee is committed to promoting high-quality, client-centered behavior-analytic care and to preparing future practitioners through thoughtful, applied teaching, training, and supervision.
