Alicia Hilderley MSc, PhD

Alicia Hilderley is passionate about promoting active brains and active bodies for kids of all abilities. She has degrees in Rehabilitation Sciences (Ph.D., University of Toronto) and Kinesiology (MSc, BSc, McGill University) and extensive experience in adapted physical activity settings as a coach. Her research specifically focuses on the promotion of motor skill learning and neuroplasticity for children with Cerebral Palsy. She designs and evaluates novel child-centered interventions in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams, often assessing outcomes using neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, DTI, fNIRS). Overall my work aims to enhance clinical delivery options and decisions in pediatric neurorehabilitation.
