Overview

Ellen Sutter is a postdoctoral researcher at Boston University in the Infant Communication Lab. She received a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and a PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Minnesota. Her PhD work focused on early detection and early intervention for cerebral palsy, including the use of tools like neuroimaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, and movement assessment to study infant brain and motor development after an early brain injury. Her research interests lie in how early infant motor and sensory experiences relate to developmental outcomes, and in investigating rehabilitation interventions to promote neuroplasticity in young children.
