The Lab’s Vision
Developmental Neuropsychology
The work of the lab focuses on cerebral, cognitive and social development from infancy, through childhood and adolescence. The aim of our projects is to explore brain and cognitive maturation, as well as the biological and environmental factors that influence social development. In addition, we investigate the consequences of early brain insult, such as traumatic brain injury and concussion.
We strive to gain a better understanding of the underlying substrates of cognitive and social problems to guide the development of targeted interventions for children at-risk for cognitive, social or behavioural problems. Through our work we have the pleasure of collaborating with academic, international, industrial, school, and community partners who participate in co-construction of assessment and remediation tools to optimise child and adolescent development. We are a dynamic and collegial team who enjoys working, creating and socializing together and we are always open to new ideas and opportunities.
