E4: Moving Forward with Cerebral Palsy Research

|About This Episode| This episode provides a conversation with Assistant Professor Claudio Ferre ([email protected]) about his research on cerebral palsy and his unique academic path. Professor Ferre is interested in the development of manual skills in typically developing children and children with disabilities (e.g., cerebral palsy). His research focuses on understanding why children who experience brain injury during the same stage of life display vastly different functional outcomes later in childhood. The moderator of the podcast is Dr. Karen Jacobs ([email protected]), who is the Associate Dean, Digital Learning and Innovation, a Clinical Professor and the Program Director for the on-line post-professional doctorate in the occupational therapy program at Sargent College. Marial Williams ([email protected]), a Boston University entry-level occupational therapy doctoral student, composed the music for the podcast. Enjoy this episode of HealthMatters.
