At CanChild, we are dedicated to mapping out the developmental paths of children and young people with disabilities, from infancy through adulthood, with focus on healthcare transition and well-being.
Our efforts are geared toward a deep understanding of the developmental trajectory of children and youth with disabilities from infancy through adulthood. Community of Practices, including the Health Hub in Transition and CP-NET, and research programs, from GrowDMD, READYOrNot to MyStory, aim to promote successful outcomes of children and youth with disabilities during critical life transitions. One key area of research is the transition to adulthood, where our research aims to identify and address the unique needs and challenges faced by children and youth with disabilities, and to support their full participation and inclusion in society.
Transition to adulthood can be a very challenging time. The life course approach is a developing research area that examines a person's journey through life, with different transitions along the way.
