His efforts to support the field are reflected in his over 100 peer-reviewed articles, books, and book chapters as well as his numerous regional, national, and international presentations. Leading with technology as an effective tool, Sean has also been fortunate to receive over $30 million dollars of external funding, in collaboration with others, to facilitate the development and research of tech-based solutions for individuals with disabilities.
