Research Focus

My research focuses on the creation and implementation of population-based wellness strategies for children and youth. Implementation includes the community and school setting as well as health care settings through the teaching of doctors in training. This includes incorporating physical activity into the lives of children with disabilities. My research in rheumatology includes multicenter trials and outcome studies, with the aim of improving the health of children affected with arthritis. I am also studying the use of a video-based home rehabilitation exercise program in children with arthritis.
