Goal 1: Centres for Leadership in Childhood disability

Building on Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital’s foundation of excellent clinical care, we aim to further embrace research and education to extend our scope and reach to improve the quality of life for children with disabilities and their families worldwide.

Holland Bloorview has developed a framework for Centres for Leadership in Childhood Disability, which incorporates the important role of clinical experts and research collaboratives, to further expand our capacity to integrate interdisciplinary research and teaching into clinical care. This new framework will allow us to improve knowledge generation and sharing, with the ultimate goal of being at the forefront of informed practice in the field of childhood disability globally.

We have selected two areas of initial focus for our Centres for Leadership: Child Development and Participation. These two areas were chosen because of their scope, their impact on the majority of clients served by Holland Bloorview, the strength that already exists at Holland Bloorview and the internal and external need for the latest knowledge in these two areas. In time, it is anticipated that other areas of clinical and research excellence at Holland Bloorview may also be developed into Centres for Leadership.

• Child Development
• Participation
