Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How can I help CanChild continue to support children and youth with disabilities and their families?

    CanChild is actively fundraising to sustain our knowledge exchange services, including maintaining this website and ensuring that it is current and of a high quality. If you use and appreciate our resources, please contribute to CanChild. Your gift will allow us to continue sharing the knowledge from our research with families, who are working hard to support their children and youth with disabilities, and with service providers, who are seeking to ensure that their clinical services reflect the most current evidence.

  2. What do I do if I am interested in translating an existing CanChild measure or document?

    Please be sure to contact us by e-mail to ask for permission to do the translation, before you begin the process. Some of the copyright ownerships for our measures belong to the publisher, not CanChild, so be sure to check with us first to find out who you need to speak to about permission for translating.

  3. Can I contact CanChild to get more information about a study, article, etc.?

    Please contact us by e-mail. Depending on the volume of requests, the complexity of the request, or the availability of an appropriate CanChild member to respond to your request, it may take several days. Please be patient and feel free to follow-up with us if you are concerned that you have not heard back.

  4. What training courses/workshops can I attend?

    In general, CanChild does not provide training or workshops.

  5. Can I bring my child in to be diagnosed, to receive treatment or for a referral?

    CanChild is an academic research unit. What does this mean? We don't have clinics, see children or provide treatment or therapy. We also can't provide a diagnosis or a referral for services. We do provide a wealth of information on our website from the studies/research we have completed.
