CanChild

Provided funding to sustain the knowledge exchange and translation (KET) activities that have proven to make a significant difference in the lives of children with physical disabilities, and to develop and implement a licensing system for your knowledge products and a measurement and analysis reporting service.

A tool, the Youth KIT, that will help adolescents with disabilities prepare for their transition to the adult health and social services system. The Youth KIT is posted on the CanChild website in accessible formats to promote and facilitate youth independence and will include short videos to introduce it and train mentors in best practices in mentoring youth with disabilities.

A “package” of evidence–based parent information on Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) that consists of a series of short Podcasts, accessible through both visual and auditory media. These materials will increase the availability of these resources to families of children with DCD, including grandparents and siblings, and the general public. Closed captioning and other accessibility features of the CanChild website will increase its usage.
