CanChild is a research and educational centre founded in 1989 with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
 
The Canadian Centre for Disability Research has information about various conditions on their website, including Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy, and other childhood disabilities and diagnoses.
 
While the scope of CanChild's research is broad, the majority of our work is focused on issues that will make a difference for children and youth with physical, developmental and communication needs and their families.

CanChild brings together an experienced team of researchers from a wide array of disciplines including pediatrics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language pathology, social psychology, epidemiology and biostatistics.
