Dr. Allare’s vast clinical interests include family-centered care and bioethics. She has also served as a board member for Raising Special Kids, an organization providing parents with peer support and specialized information to cope with the issues of parenting a child with special needs. More recently, she became a faculty member of the Brazelton Institute at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Allare has also provided invaluable training at NICUs nationwide in Newborn Behavioral Observation, a neurological tool that promotes infant-parent attachment, and the focus of her current research endeavors.
