Research Interests

The PRISM lab investigates intelligent system technologies and analytical methods, and their exploitation in understanding the physiological underpinnings of functional rehabilitation in children.  In so doing, we seek ecologically relevant, innovative assistive technology solutions to enable children with disabilities to achieve their personal best and with their families, more fully participate in life activities.
