Dr. Long is an associate professor and serves as the Curriculum Director of Occupational Therapy. She is a resource person and advisor for students interested in transfering to the occupational therapy program at the undergraduate level.

Since joining Ithaca College as a full-time faculty member in 1998, she has coordinated and taught courses about human development, pediatric theory and treatment, and school-based practice. In addition, Dr. Long's extensive experience in clinical management enables her to share real world issues with students about working in private practice. Dr. Long also supervises graduate students in group research and individual thesis projects in areas of pediatrics.

When not on campus, Diane is busy with family life in Auburn, NY, visits with her grandson in Washington, DC whenever possible, and enjoys restoring the interior and gardens of her family's 1835 home.
