Rosalie obtained a master's degree in physiotherapy from the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec in 2020. She practiced part-time in a private clinic with pediatric patients while completing a master's degree in research. Her master's project focused on evaluating the acceptability of a telerehabilitation intervention offering rehabilitation services to families with children with motor difficulties. Rosalie is interested in improving pediatric rehabilitation practices and more particularly for clients encountering major access barriers. She is currently doing a PhD in collaboration with the University of Sherbrooke and the University of Saskatchewan. She wants to explore how current rehabilitation services could be modified to better meet the needs of Indigenous families across Canada. As part of her doctoral project, she aims to explore the perceptions of Indigenous families towards telerehabilitation and co-develop with the communities, a training program aimed at sharing the best practices of culturally safe telerehabilitation.
