Faculty bio

My speciality area is pediatric clinical neuropsychology. My research program is focused on cognitive rehabilitation of attention and working memory deficits in children and youth with neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, premature birth and learning disorders.

I am interested in school and parent delivery models for cognitive training and the facilitative impact of attention and working memory training on the outcome of other interventions.

My other line of research includes motor systems and executive control of motor behaviours in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. My clinical specialty includes assessment and diagnostics in neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorders, and neuropsychological assessment, consultation and program planning within educational contexts.
