Dr. Gilder received her master’s and doctoral degrees in Developmental Psychology from Claremont Graduate University. She is also a Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analysist. She completed her pre-doctoral clinical Internship and training at the Claremont Autism Center and her post-doctoral fellowship at the May Center School for Autism and Developmental Disabilities in Randolph, Mass.
After completing her post-doctoral fellowship, Dr. Gilder took on the role of Clinical Director for the Vocational Core at the May Center School in Randolph. She joined our Adult Services team in the fall of 2022 and is now the Director of Clinical Services and Training. In this role, Dr. Gilder provides clinical support and training on a consultation basis to the Day Habilitation and Residential programs across Adult Services. Through communicating with the clinical team and service providers at each program, Dr. Gilder develops and conducts trainings that best meet the ongoing needs of the individual clients and the programs. She is a regional trainer for the National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices.
Dr. Gilder’s clinical and research interests focus on helping to create an enriching environment that meets the individual needs of each adult. She understands from a developmental psychology perspective that the needs of the people we serve may change at differing points in their lifespans, and that this should always be considered when modifying and developing programing.
The driving force behind Dr. Gilder’s daily work is the goal of collaborating with service providers to cultivate an environment geared to promoting healthy aging and increasing the quality of life for all adults in our care.
