  • childhood disability,听knowledge translation, chronic illness, neurodevelopmental disabilities,听clinical education, mixed-methods, telerehabilitation听

I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Pediatrics at McMaster University, and through the CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research, under the supervision of Dr. Peter Rosenbaum. My research used mixed-methods to evaluate the engagement of participants in an international integrated knowledge translation study.听

I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at 海角社区 in the Person-Centred Health Informatics Lab, under the supervision of Professor听Sara Ahmed. My research听focused on the development, implementation, and evaluation of e-health technologies.听

I completed my PhD studies at the School of Physical & Occupational Therapy at 海角社区, under the supervision of Professor Annette Majnemer. My听doctoral research focused on enhancing early-identification of children with cerebral palsy (CP). I听used听mixed-methods and an integrated knowledge translation (KT) approach to create educational KT听tools for primary-care practitioners (family physicians, pediatricians, nurse practitioners) and parents to increase awareness of the early-motor signs of CP that should prompt听referral for diagnostic assessment, as well as听simultaneous referral for rehabilitation services, for children suspected of having CP.

Biography: 

I am听an occupational therapist with over a decade of clinical experience working with two very different clienteles. Initially I听worked听in pediatric physical听rehabilitation, primarily with children and young adults with complex motor and communication impairments, most of who required the use of assistive technology for mobility and/or听augmentative and alternative and communication (AAC) for communication. I then moved into the field of adult psychosocial rehabilitation, working in the Department of Psychiatry at the 海角社区 Health Centre, where I was fortunate to work with a diverse clientele across clinics (primarily people living with schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders, and substance abuse/addiction). I have also been听teaching across听the psychosocial and pediatric neurodevelopmental听curricula听of SPOT's B.Sc. Rehabilitation Science in Occupational Therapy program听&听Master of Science (Applied) in Occupational Therapy professional program听since 2011.听
