Meet 2016 Keynote Speaker Paul LeBuffe
PAUL A. LeBUFFE, M.A., is the Director of the Devereux Center for Resilient Children in Villanova, Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of St. Mary's College of Maryland and received his Master's degree in experimental psychology from Bryn Mawr College. Paul is an author of many widely-used assessments of behaviors related to children’s social and emotional strengths and needs including the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Infants (DECA-I), Toddlers (DECA-T) Preschoolers (DECA-P2), and most recently, the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA). These assessments have been adopted by more than 5,000 school districts, out-of-school-time programs, Head Start and Early Head Start Programs, early care and education centers, and early childhood mental health consultation programs. More than 6 million children have been assessed with these tools and the results used by professionals and parents to promote their social and emotional competence, foster their resilience and build the skills these children will need for school and life success.
Since the mid 1990s, Paul’s career has focused on the measurement and promotion of resilience in children and the adults who care for them. In addition to the assessments mentioned above, he has authored numerous research articles and chapters on resilience and related topics. Paul has presented to varied audiences including psychologists, teachers, school administrators, out-of-school-time professionals, and parents throughout the United States and Canada on promoting resilience in children, youth and adults. Paul lives in Downingtown, Pennsylvania with his wife, Penny, a special education teacher.
