Professor
BSc (OT); MSc (Neurology & Neurosurgery); PhD (Neurology & Neurosurgery) (McGill)
Dr. Majnemer's research interests focus primarily on early identification strategies for children at high risk for disability and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence outcomes in children and youth with developmental disabilities. She is also studying knowledge translation strategies that promote best practice for children with developmental challenges. She currently leads CHILD-BRIGHT, a pan-Canadian patient-oriented research network (SPOR) focused on children with brain-based disabilities.
Research Areas:
childhood disability
knowledge translation
outcome measures
participation and well-being
patient engagement
rehabilitation services
