Honorary Research Associate

Dr Sarah Hall is a clinician-researcher with concurrent appointments as Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist (Kids Rehab WA), Research Fellow (Curtin University), and Honorary Research Associate (The Kids).

Sarah completed her postgraduate clinical training at the University of Melbourne in 2014, and has since worked clinically with children and adults with a range of neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders across public health, mental health and private practice settings. Sarah has a particular research interest in the early factors that shape cognitive and socio-emotional development in children.

She is a Research Fellow on the Early Moves project, a large prospective cohort study that aims to investigate the utility of the General Movements Assessment in infancy as an early marker of cognitive impairment. In this role, Sarah is overseeing the assessment of 1,500 two-year-old children using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development.

Sarah is passionate about clinical research that delivers real-world impact for children and families, through translation of evidence into clinical policy and practice. She has led several quality improvement projects to improve the hospital experience for children and adults with autism, and implement standardised screening of mood disorders following stroke. She is a Board Approved Supervisor in Clinical Neuropsychology and HDR supervisor, and is available to supervise Honours, Masters and PhD students.
