His research focuses on the acute effects, recovery trajectories, and treatment and rehabilitation needs of individuals who sustain injuries to their brains, with an emphasis on the potential unique needs of youth with pre-existing neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
