Consultation for a local agency that provides recreational opportunities for children with special needs.  Helen also provides evidence-based practice continuing education to local professionals who work in the field of developmental disabilities.

Service
My clinical interests include interdisciplinary teams, developmental assessments, orthotic management, cerebral palsy, clinical education, and motor learning. I have more recently taken an active role in NICU follow up with interests in early identification of disability and effectiveness of Early Intervention programs. My research interests are varied but often focus on cerebral palsy.
