POTH 634: Childhood Performance Issues
Prof. Snider's research is focused on issues of childhood disability in terms of developmental and functional sequelae. She was PI on a longitudinal validation study of Prechtl's General Movements Assessment (CIHR). She developed CP-Engine: a web-based knowledge translation tool to promote knowledge uptake for use of ‘best evidence’ in clinical practice.
Prof. Snider was the Director of the Occupational Therapy program 1995-2001 and Associate Director of the Graduate program 2012-16.
