The Cerebral Palsy Institute knowledge translation team aims to implement discoveries and advancements in the care of cerebral palsy, informing clinical practice, program development, and public health policy.

As genetics continues to discover new conditions, detailed testing often finds genetic changes that providers and patient families may not fully understand. Our genetic counselors, geneticists, and neurologists assist with all aspects of genetic testing and discovery with a patient family.

With the addition of Alyssa Spomer, PhD, the Gillette research team now has a dedicated clinical scientist for each of its seven distinct programs. Dr. Spomer joins Gillette from the University of Washington, where she earned her PhD in Mechanical Engineering after defending her dissertation, “Evaluating adaptation to multimodal biofeedback in cerebral palsy.”

Referring physicians have options for getting patients seen for illnesses, chronic medical conditions and developmental concerns.
