Brianna Stevens PT, DPT(she/her)

Hello! I’m passionate about understanding how the brain supports learning, attention, and sensory processing in early childhood. My work focuses on neural mechanisms underlying sensory and attention differences in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, with the goal of improving early identification and intervention. I have clinical experience working with diverse pediatric populations in Southern California, which has strengthened my commitment to supporting meaningful engagement and participation for every child. I particularly enjoy using neuroimaging techniques, such as EEG, to explore brain-based biomarkers that may help us better understand and support neurodiverse development. I’ve always known I wanted to work with children, and my combined clinical and research experiences continue to inspire me to create bridges between neuroscience and everyday life for kids and their families.

Research Interests. Sensory processing, learning and attention, neurodevelopmental disorders, neuroimaging techniques
