Expertise

My research and publications involve psychosocial and physical outcomes from therapeutic recreation interventions for individuals with and without disabilities. Activity interventions in my research involve aquatic therapy, cycling, exercise, adventure, and creative arts. I have also written or co-written book chapters pertaining to aquatic therapy, assistive technology, therapeutic use of exercise, and the role of recreational therapy in the schools.
