Dr. Christensen has a Neuromotor Clinic and a Rett Syndrome Clinic at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.
Dr. Christensen’s research is focused on studying neurodevelopmental outcomes in children born preterm or with neonatal brain injury.

She seeks to integrate genetic and epigenetic risk with established clinical and environmental predictors to provide individualized neuroprognostication and targeted clinical care for infants born preterm or with brain injury.
