Current research: 

Tatiana Ogourtsova is an early career researcher in pediatrics and is leading the RESI-ALLIANT KID laboratory (Research on Evidence-based Services and Innovative strategies conducted in ALLIANce and True partnership with Key stakeholders to Improve the lives of children with Developmental disabilities and their families) located at the Research Center of the Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital (CISSS Laval, site of CRIR).聽

The RESI-ALLIANT KID laboratory聽is dedicated to聽improving聽the lives of children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families. Their聽work is based on core values of聽patient-oriented research聽and聽knowledge translation. Conducted research addresses聽multiple areas related to聽pediatric rehabilitation聽and includes聽health coaching for children with disabilities and their families,聽family-centered care,聽novel interventions to support life transitions聽and mental health,聽early interventions,聽and聽new methods of healthcare services delivery including telehealth.聽聽

Biography: 

Tatiana is a clinician with a decade of hands-on clinical experience in a neurology/neurosurgery acute care and outpatient settings. Her MSc and PhD in Rehabilitation Science was in the field of visuo-perceptual neurorehabilitation post-stroke and virtual reality. She pursued her postdoctoral trainings in neurodevelopment and pediatrics. Currently, Tatiana is an early career researcher, based at the research center of the Jewish Rehabilitation聽Hospital (CISSS Laval, site of CRIR). Tatiana is accepting all levels of graduate students (MSc, PhD) and post-doctoral trainees聽with interest in pediatric research.聽

Specialization: 

Tatiana Ogourtsova is specialized in neurorehabilitation across the lifespan.聽

Areas of expertise: 

Neurorehabilitation across life span; evidence-based practice; childhood disability; emerging models of care including telehealth/telerehabilitation, health coaching, family-centered care, and life transitions support; mental health in children with disabilities and their families; knowledge translation, patient-oriented research; early intervention; virtual reality/technology; visual perception.聽
