Description of Clinical Expertise
Pediatric neurological physical therapyDescription of Research Expertise
The development and rehabilitation of movement in children with neurological impairments. This includes the investigation of the development of impaired movement, the interaction between the processes of neuroplasticity and neuromaturation in sensorimotor systems, and the study of novel motor rehabilitation interventions in children with neurological conditions.Selected Publications
