Lucy Jo Palladino

Born and raised in NYC, Lucy Jo Palladino attended Fordham University. After teaching for several years, she went west to complete her PhD at Arizona State University. She conducted research and served as a clinical faculty member at the University of Arizona Medical School before heading further west to Southern California. A practicing psychologist for over thirty-five years, Dr. Palladino studies the impact of digital media on attention and the brain, especially in children. She sees parents as pioneers who need to make decisions about their children's digital habits but have little or nothing to go on. Her newest book, PARENTING IN THE AGE OF ATTENTION SNATCHERS, gives parents evidence-based guidance to help them face the unknown with accurate information.
