Making a Difference to Children’s Health: Participatory Approaches in Childhood Onset Disability Research

Date and time: Thursday, 25th September 2025, 6pm – 7pm AEST
Location: Online via Zoom
Tickets: Register via Humanitix

This brief presentation provides an overview of research initiatives at the CanChild Centre for Childhood-onset Disability Research at McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada. Throughout the history of family engagement, CanChild scientists have evolved from engaging families on an informal basis to become research partners and co-investigators. We now also include children with disabilities actively shaping our research, becoming active in the recruitment of participants, and reflecting on the analysis of results, as well as sharing their experiences at scientific meetings.
