About Marie Holmefur

Marie Holmefur is a registrered Occupational Therapist who graduated with a PhD from Karolinska Institutet in 2009 and was appointed professor of Occupational Therapy at Örebro University in 2018.

Maries research focuses on measurement and interventions for enhancing everyday life in persons with a long-standing disability. Marie's early research focused on hand function in children with unilateral disability in arm and hand, and specifically about the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA).

A number of interventions are under evaluation, such as "Let's Get Organized" time management intervention, "Parenting Young Children" support intervention for parents with cognitive difficulties, "Partnering 4 Change" an intervention enhancing participation and support in school, and a project developing social work for people with cognitive disabilities.
