Summary

Dido Green has over 25 years clinical and research experience as an Occupational Therapist, specializing in paediatric neurodisability at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals in London UK.  She received her Masters in Clinical Neuroscience from the University of Surrey and PhD from the University of Leeds with post-doctoral work in translational medicine at Kings College London.

Academic and teaching areas encourage students’ scientific enquiry of the transactional influences on occupational performance; aiming to develop students’ clinical reasoning and therapeutic skills.  Research interests take an ecological approach to understanding challenges to participation for children and young people. Extensive international collaborations and grant funding have enabled research into the neuroplasticity of sensory-motor learning and behavior and virtual reality in rehabilitation. Current research explores psychosocial development in childhood disability and influences on participation. Publications include seminal papers on neuroplasticity of motor skill acquisition and treatment response of children with hemiplegia, movement behaviour in childhood disability and occupational therapy interventions for motor impairments. She has received over £7 million in grant funding. Dido is Associate Editor of Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology as well as serving on many scientific committees.
