Early life

Rogers was born in Akron, Ohio in 1948.

Education

Rogers attended Colby College in Waterville, Maine from 1965 to 1967 and Ashland College in Ashland, Ohio, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in June 1969. Rogers then attended The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio to study developmental psychology, earning her Master of Arts in June 1973 and her Doctor of Philosophy in March 1975. During this time, Rogers completed an internship in psychological assessment and treatment from September 1972 to August 1973 at Orient State Institute in Orient, Ohio.

Research and career

Rogers acted as staff psychologist and acting director in the psychology department at Orient State Institute from September 1973 to May 1974.

In the 1980s, Rogers began working on the Early Start Denver Model alongside clinical psychologist and autism researcher Geraldine Dawson.[6] The EDSM is representative of applied behavior analysis (ABA),[7] which has faced criticism from some autistic individuals and autism scholars.[8] [9] [10]
