Dr. Quintin's research aims to identify cognitive, social and neural correlates of the musical profile of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and to quantify the effects of music education on their cognitive, social, and brain functioning and development. She also investigates typical development and other neurodevelopmental disorders including fragile X syndrome with a combination of cognitive-behavioural and neuroimaging methods and cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs. The overarching goal of her work is to improve education programs, community and family services, and mental health care for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and potentially alter cognitive and social development.
Dr. Quintin conducted her doctoral research at Université du Québec à Montréal and McGill University and her postdoctoral research at Stanford University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. She is child and adolescent neuropsychologist with a specialization in psychiatry (clinical license: Ordre des Psychologues du Québec).
