These presentations are designed for residents, graduate students, and practitioners
in physical medicine and rehabilitation science; members of the faculty of the University of Washington School of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine; and
practicing physiatrists in the Northwest. At
the conclusion of the symposium, participants should be able to:

Discuss the impact of the empirically
supported treatment movement on research and rehabilitation practice.

Recognize the complexity of academiccommunity partnerships in conducting
rehabilitation intervention research.

Identify key components of community
based participatory research.

Understand the components and advantages of family-centered health care

Next year’s Symposium is
scheduled for May 18, 2016
The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine sponsors the symposium each year in honor of Justus F. Lehmann,
M.D., who chaired the department from its founding in 1957 until 1986. During his long and distinguished career, Dr. Lehmann received numerous
awards, including the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine’s Gold Key Award in 1971,
the American Academy of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation’s Frank H. Krusen Award in 1983,
and the Association of Academic Physiatrists’
Distinguished Member Award in 1993. The 2015 JFL Symposium
focuses on outcomes measurement in rehabilitation research and
practice. We are fortunate to have an outstanding group of speakers share their work and knowledge on a number of topics in this
area, including talks on the selection of effective measures for use
in rehabilitation research, measurement models for children with
CP, assessment of gait, and measurement of participation outcomes in speech-language pathology.

Performance Outcomes in People with Parkinson’s Disease”
Ellen McGough, PhD
With Dr. Mary Law, Dr. Rosenbaum was the cofounder in 1989 of the award-winning CanChild
Centre for Childhood Disability Research, a health system-linked
research unit funded 1989-2009 by the Ontario Ministry of Health
and Long-Term Care. CanChild is now recognized world-wide for its
research and dissemination activities in the field of childhood disability.
Dr. Rosenbaum has held more than 80 peer-reviewed research
grants and is a contributing author to over 300 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. He has been an invited lecturer and

From Diagnosis to Adult Life’ (2012), and co-edited ‘Life Quality
Outcomes of Children and Young Adults with Neurological and
Developmental Conditions’ (2013) with Dr. Gabriel Ronen. In 2015
he and colleagues are working on a book on ethical dilemmas in
developmental medicine.
