Together we are making a real difference in the lives of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities & their families.
About us
As the first national research network in Canada focusing on brain development and neurodevelopmental disabilities, Kids Brain Health is dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes for affected kids and their families. Today, one out of six children worldwide lives with a life-long condition such as autism (ASD), cerebral palsy (CP), or fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). We set out as NeuroDevNet in 2009 to study typical brain development, and identify what goes wrong - and why - in brain-based disabilities. Our aim: to meaningfully improve quality of life for children and their families through early diagnosis, effective treatment, and support for caregivers. We continue this vital work under our new banner as Kids Brain Health, bringing together leading researchers in basic and clinical sciences, and training a new generation of Canadian researchers dedicated to the same goals. A wide range of partners and families support us in these endeavours, helping shape our priorities, and translating our findings into programs, policies and services. Together, we’re moving from research to impact.

This week I had the privilege of attending the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medecine (AACPDM) 78th Annual Congress 🤩 and presenting 1 pre-conference oral presentation and 2 posters! 💪 What a blast! I was particularly impressed with this year's focus on family engagement and advocacy for people with lived experience. We still have a lot to learn. ❤️ I am so grateful to the Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) for supporting me for this event, 🙏🙏 and to the Fonds de recherche du Québec and the Institut TransMedTech de Montréal for supporting my work this year.
