Claire Manley

After earning her bachelor’s degree at Boston University, Clare Manley continued her work as a Research Lab Tech and Study Coordinator in the Laboratory for Visual Neuroplasticity at MEE with Dr. Lotfi Merabet, studying visual processing in individuals with cerebral visual impairment (CVI); the primary cause of pediatric visual impairment in the US. Because our population of interest, individuals with brain-based visual impairments, have prenatal or perinatal brain injury, many of them have coexisting cognitive and developmental delays, as well as physical disabilities. Her current position in the Laboratory for Visual Neuroplasticity has given her the opportunity to work not only with children and young adults with moderate to profound visual impairment but also with cerebral palsy, and autism, among other conditions.
