Brittany is a researcher and pediatric occupational therapist with expertise in feeding challenges. She recently completed her PhD in Kinesiology: Occupational Science and dual Master of Occupational Therapy and Public Health degrees at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As both a researcher and clinician, she is passionate about the health and well-being of families with autistic children, and the efficient translation of research into evidence-based changes in clinical practice.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Brittany will collaborate with leading autism researchers at the Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre. The goal will be to adapt and deliver the Engaged Eaters Program, a caregiver-mediated intervention for autistic children, for use in Australia.
