Minoo Dabiri

About

I am a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Manitoba. I work under the supervision of Dr. Jacquie Ripat in the Bannatyne campus of the University of Manitoba and Dr. James Young in the Fort Gary campus, as my research has a multidisciplinary concern between occupational therapy and the computer science department. My research focused on technology's importance in facilitating play for children with different abilities.

I completed my Ph.D. in occupational therapy at the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Tehran, Iran. I am currently working in the Bannatyne campus, the rehabilitation center for children and in the human-computer lab.
