Research History
Dr Sabaz has undertaken original research in the neuropsychology of paediatric epilepsy. He developed the Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy questionnaire (QOLCE), which is recognised all over the world as a valid and reliable measure of quality of life for children with epilepsy. The QOLCE is now available in multiple languages.
Dr Sabaz has also been a chief investigator on projects for NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation to develop a model of care for managing challenging behaviour of children and adults with traumatic brain injury.
