Dr. Mary Beth Kadlec, MGH IHP Assistant Professor, with her Class of 2026 Capstone Students, Emma Lynch and Emerson Evans, who are soon to graduate! They collaborated with an Early Intervention Occupational Therapy Practitioner (OTP) and a family where a sibling is included in the session to study how OTPs support successful interactions and activity engagement for children with neurodevelopmental differences. Emma and Emerson’s projects are contributing to evidence-based practice! Grateful for the opportunities to work together throughout the capstone experiences.

Christiana Jussome (ELOTD ‘25) presented her doctoral capstone project at the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) conference in Toronto this month!

Her poster, “Impact of Pre-Implant Mental Health and S*x on Post-Implant Length of Stay and Life Satisfaction in LVAD Recipients” was co-authored with her MGH IHP OT faculty mentor, Jessica Asiello, MGH OT clinical specialist Christina Kelley, and OT faculty member John Wong. Fellow IHP alumni and current MGH senior OTs Alyssa Taubert (ELOTD ‘20) and Nicole Lam (ELOTD ‘21) also supported her at ISHLT.
