Seasoned researcher Heather Roberts is hoping a $100,000 award will significantly move the needle on early detection of cerebral palsy and lead to better outcomes for patients and their families.
Roberts, an associate professor in the School of Occupational Therapy who’s been researching cerebral palsy in children for nearly 20 years, received the award from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), along with Angela Shierk, PhD, OTR from Scottish Rite for Children.
