To enhance the understanding of how an injury to a child’s brain can impact cognitive, behavioural, and social development.

Types of brain injuries include traumatic brain injury and stroke. Additionally, we are focused on tailoring and administering interventions to help young children with brain injuries and insults. 

Our goals are to:

  • characterise the longitudinal consequences of acquired brain injuries sustained in childhood by studying the functional outcomes
  • identify risk, resilience and protective factors, to inform intervention strategies
  • develop and tailor interventions to help families and children with cognitive, behavioural and social problems related to their acquired brain injuries.
