The NOvEL Lab

The NOvEL (Neurorehab Outcomes via Education & Learning) Lab is led by Dr. Shannon Scratch, Clinician Scientist & Clinical Neuropsychologist at the Bloorview Research Institute and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. The goal of our lab is to better understand the experiences of clients and families to improve their health and wellbeing so that they can live their lives to the fullest. Our work explores a variety of topics related to pediatric brain injury (e.g. concussion, acquired brain injury) and other neurological conditions. Using an interdisciplinary lens, our lab builds clinical interventions and evidence-based practices informed by clients, families, and clinicians, with a focus on co-creation. We work to better understand pediatric brain injury outcomes and help to educate trainees from across the globe to advance the field of pediatric brain injury.
