Katie Mah is an Assistant Professor in the School of Occupational Therapy at Western University. Her research investigates the intersection of ableism and normative ideals in the everyday lives of young people who experience 'invisible' impairments. These impairments are not externally visible but have significant, enduring effects on individuals' lives, such as concussion and chronic pain. Mah employs equity-focused methodologies and creative participatory methods in her work, striving to blend theoretical frameworks with real-world priorities in clinical care. She has contributed to various peer-reviewed journals, reflecting her deep engagement with topics on youth concussion and chronic pain experiences. Mah's work emphasizes co-constructing knowledge about children's experiences of disability and pain through innovative methodologies including arts-based approaches.
