In addition to expanding pediatric cancer rehabilitation infrastructure, she is focused on interventions to enhance cognition, social skills, child development, upper limb function, and overall life participation among children with cancer. Dr. L’Hotta provides clinical care as an occupational therapist in the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
