I-DAPT is currently comprised of five research labs. Collectively these labs foster the I-DAPT vision and mission.
HAFA
Healthy Aging and Functional Ability Lab
We believe that age is just a number and promote healthy aging by helping older adults engage in activities that are valuable to their health and independence. Our research goal is to increase disability-free life expectancy for older adults by developing, testing, and implementing evidence-based programs.
Director: Dr. CJ Liu
MAP
Mobility, Activity, and Participation Lab
The MAP lab has a research focus on driving and community mobility and has developed tools and clinical services in this area.
Director: Dr. Sherrilene Classen
Sensory Development Lab
SensoryLab aims to enhance the theoretical foundation of sensory brain-behavior relationships in typically developing children and those with neurodevelopmental conditions in order to support the development and evaluation of interventions for children with sensory, motor, and social emotional challenges.
Director: Dr. Stefanie Bodison
TOP
Technology for Occupational Performance Lab
The TOP lab focuses on optimizing function for people with disabilities through the use of technology, robotics, and smart devices.
Director: Dr. Hongwu Wang
YELL
Youth & Young Adult Empowerment, Leadership, & Learning Lab
