Kaufman has taught learning-disabled children and worked as a school psychologist, learning disabilities specialist, university professor, and founder-director of several psychoeducational clinics. She also was a direct participant in the development and standardization of the McCarthy Scales and WISC-R.
She has been married to psychologist Alan S. Kaufman since 1964.

The research team that they supervised while at the University of Georgia in 1978-79 developed the original K-ABC and several other psychological and educational tests, including the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, and the second editions of both. The Kaufman Survey of Early Academic and Language Skills and the Cognitive/Language Profile of the Early Screening Profiles address the preschool level. The Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test, the Kaufman Short Neuropsychological Assessment Procedure, and the Kaufman Functional Academic Skills Test extend through the adult life span.
