Prof Nicole Rinehart - Researcher Profile

Biography

Nicole Rinehart notices how you walk.  Having studied the distinctive way of walking apparent in children with Autism and Asperger’s disorder her research aims to help clinicians make earlier diagnoses.  With about 1 in 160 children suffering the disorder early diagnosis is critical to reducing social problems suffered by children with the disorders.
