Lisa Klinger joined the School of Occupational Therapy following a successful twenty year career in the practice of Occupational Therapy in London. Clinically, she has enjoyed a broad spectrum of practice, with individuals having both physical and mental health problems, in hospital and in the community. She obtained her Masters of Science degree in Occupational Therapy at U.W.O. in 1997, completing original research for her thesis that looked at occupational adaptation to chronic pain in the elderly. Her research interests include occupational adaptation to chronic pain and acquired brain injury, and issues related to universal access to education and the community. She continues to hold a part-time appointment with Rehabilitation Management Inc., a private rehabilitation company, where she works as a rehabilitation counselor/occupational therapist with individuals who have had catastrophic impairments as the result of motor vehicle accidents. Her work in this area, besides the practice of occupational therapy, includes case coordination and completion of future care needs reports. She has several times been called as an expert witness in court.
