After a PhD from the University of Minnesota, Sigafoos has held roles at University of Queensland, University of Sydney, and the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently a professor at Victoria University of Wellington and an adjunct professor at James Madison University.[1][2][3]
Sigafoos has been editor-in-chief of the journals Evidence-based Communication Assessment and Developmental Neurorehabilitation.[4] In 2015, Sigafoos was implicated in a scandal involving Johnny Matson and another two academic journals, Research in Developmental Disabilities and Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, according to which Matson allegedly accepted papers by a select group of authors including himself and Sigafoos for publication in these journals without first sending them out for peer review.[5]
