She received her Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Education from Southern Illinois University. Dr. Lehmann has worked as a psychotherapist for a community mental health center; a mental health therapist for an inpatient adolescent treatment facility; a service coordinator for the Division of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities in Missouri, and a placement specialist for the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in Nebraska before going into academia.
In 2009 she was awarded an Outstanding Research Award from the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association.
After leaving academia for the west coast, she wrote “All You Need to Know About Disability is On Star Trek.” In March 2014, she packed the room as she presented “Genetic Engineering: Star Trek vs. Reality.” Her presentations using examples from Star Trek include: "End Program: Lessons about Post-traumatic Stress Disorders on Star Trek" and "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations: Star Trek and Autism Spectrum Disorders." She has also put together an ethics training using scenes from various Star Trek episodes.
Dr. Lehmann earned her PhD in Rehabilitation Counseling Education at Southern Illinois University. She teaches research methods at Capella University through their online program. She is writing more books and promises to continue to write until she is no longer entertaining. Dr. Lehmann is bossed around by her cat, Hobbes, and a corgi named Susie Derkins.view less
