Welcome our new summer 2024 intern, Dan O’Donnell!

By Dan O’Donnell

I’m Dan O’Donnell. I’m a 2024 co-research intern with the Rubenstein lab. I’m interested to know what the quality of life for the IDD community is. I think it is important for IDD people to stay healthy. I’m focusing on health and sports. My experience is with Special Olympics. I’ve been doing it for 13 years. I do it with Brookline recreation therapy. At the Rubinstein lab I’m interested in health, sports and physical activity for people with IDD. For my project I’m going to interview people about how the IDD community can stay physically active. I’m working on interviewing people about IDD and person’s with an IDD.
