- Transforming any park into a soccer field carries risks
Dr Gagnon's research program focuses on how children and adolescents function after traumatic injury as well as on how rehabilitation services can contribute to achieving the best outcomes possible. She has developed an innovative rehabilitation approach with children who are slow to recover after a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury.
