Research Interests

My research is in neurological disorders of children, particularly those of cerebral palsy and neurocognition. I am working on projects which address the way in which the motor system can adapt to early damage. I am also studying interventions in perinatal stroke. I am also more broadly interested in how to support and advocate for children with neurodisabilities and their families.
