PhD, ABPP

Education

Dr. Salorio received her doctoral degree in clinical psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology from Washington University in St. Louis. She completed a pre-doctoral internship in neuropsychology and clinical child psychology at the University of California, San Diego, and a post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Dr. Salorio is a licensed psychologist in Maryland and is board certified in clinical neuropsychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology with specialty board certification in pediatric neuropsychology.

She currently conducts research and provides clinical neuropsychological services to children with neurological conditions throughout the Kennedy Krieger Institute's Rehabilitation Continuum of Care, with a particular interest in acquired brain injury and epilepsy. She is active in the mentoring programs at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, and participates in the neuropsychological training of externs, pre-doctoral interns and post-doctoral residents.

Research

Dr. Salorio has a primary interest in brain-behavior relationships in children with a variety of acquired and congenital neurological disorders. Her research has examined predictors of outcome in children with traumatic and acquired brain injury, epilepsy, and other children at risk for neurocognitive difficulties. Dr. Salorio is currently involved with several projects investigating clinical factors (e.g., neurobiological mechanisms, secondary injury variables and rehabilitation interventions) that impact cognitive and functional outcomes following neurological injuries. Her research also focuses on examining predictors of cognitive, emotional, and functional status in children with epilepsy, and predictors of outcome after brain surgery for intractable epilepsy.. Dr. Salorio is Co-Director of the Behavioral Phenotyping Core of Kennedy Krieger’s Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC).
