Professional Interests:   My teaching and research interests lie in the areas of pediatrics and life-span issues. How does the processing of sensory information used in programming movement change throughout the lifespan? What are the best ways to measure functional improvement in children with developmental disabilities? After living overseas for a number of years, I am also interested in cross-cultural communication issues in the clinic. Please see my curriculum vitae for further information.
