Biography
My research focuses on children with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs), which impact 3.5% of Canadian children and include conditions such as global developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism, ADHD, and others. My research aims to improve our understanding, diagnosis, care, and treatment of children with NDDs, in particular children with NDDs who have severe behaviours of concern (meltdowns, violent outbursts, self-harm, etc). My lab uses Precision Medicine techniques, including machine learning approaches, with the goal of improving the quality of life of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families.
