Service:
Ms. Cole's primary areas of interest and expertise are in optimizing health and well-being of children with complex developmental disabilities and chronic health conditions through targeted health monitoring, anticipatory guidance, developing standards of care, and family education and support. Although this model of care is applicable across different types of disabilities, much of her work has been with children with cerebral palsy, autism, intellectual disability, and multiple disabilities. She has particular interest in working with children experiencing health challenges due to feeding difficulties, behavioral challenges, and multi-system chronic health conditions.
