His significant contributions to child psychology in schools and hospitals throughout New York are widely recognized. Over the years, he also held a part-time job doing computer-based cognitive rehabilitation with young adults who had sustained a traumatic brain injury, which quickly turned into a full-time pediatric psychologist position at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital in Schenectady, New York.
