Dr. Morris

About Dr. Morris

Dr. Morris has been in clinical practice for nearly 30 years, focusing on evaluating and treating those with neurological disorders and disabilities. She has been extensively involved in studying issues related to brain injury, PTSD, cognitive rehabilitation, and other areas of neuropsychology. Her work extends to training students of psychology, and being in a continuous state of study herself - regularly involved in research, publishing for peer-reviewed journals, and increasing her knowledge in this rapidly evolving field of science.

Dr. Morris believes that every patient's treatment plan should be as unique as the person. She has successfully diagnosed thousands of people, and no two cases have ever presented in the same way, or merited the same course of treatment. This is important, because you and your loved ones deserve the individual attention and creativity that comes from this individualized approach to diagnosis and treatment.

    Four Studies:

    1. Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 3 (ADNI3) - Non-randomized natural history non-
    treatment study with 1,070-2000 total participants that will be enrolled across 3 cohorts:
    cognitively normal (CN), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and mild AD dementia.

    2. Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease (A4) - This is a multicenter,
    randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study comparing solanezumab with placebo
    given as infusions once every 4 weeks over 4.5 years in approximately 1150 subjects with
    preclinical AD, defined as having evidence of elevated brain amyloid pathology before the stage of
    clinically evident cognitive impairment, with an optional open-label extension period.

    3. Longitudinal Evaluation of Amyloid Risk and Neurodegeneration (LEARN). A Companion
    Observational Study to Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (A4)
    Trial. This is a multicenter, observational study evaluating the rate of cognitive change in
    approximately 500 subjects without evidence of elevated Aβ on screening PET scan.

    4. Long-Term Nicotine Treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment (NIC) - Patient population: A Phase 2
    multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in approximately 380
    participants with MCI. U

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago: 
Initially employed as a Staff Psychologist in 1981, I became Senior Psychologist at RIC, a facility for rehabilitation of physically disabled individuals. The institute is dedicated to the most severe cases.  I worked both on the adult and pediatric services. My duties included provision of clinical services, including neuropsychological evaluations and psychotherapy, to patients as well as consultation with treatment team members.  I was Director of the Neuropsychological Testing Service where I supervised the work of four psychometricians. In that service, we saw approximately 1,000 patients a year.  I directed the psychology services for the Spinal Injury Service, the Brain Injury Service, and a General Rehabilitation Service, where I delivered psychology services myself and also supervised the work of other psychologists and post-doctoral fellows.
