Dr Susan Greaves

Sue is the Manager, Occupational Therapy at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne where she has worked for the past 17 years. She has a strong clinical background in the field of cerebral palsy and early intervention, especially assessment and management of the upper limb in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (hemiplegia). For her PhD research Sue developed a test called the Mini-Assisting Hand Assessment (Mini-AHA) that evaluates how well young children aged 8-18 months with unilateral CP use their affected upper limb during bimanual play. She is currently a chief investigator in two large clinical trials evaluating interventions for very young children with cerebral palsy, and has presented her findings from her research at both national and international conferences, as well as in journal articles and book chapters.
