Strategic Plan
The CanChild Strategic Plan was formally launched in January 2021. This plan reflects our hopes for the future state of CanChild: a centre with a shared purpose, where innovative and impactful child health research is at the heart of what we do, and a centre that is recognized internationally for an environment that cultivates diversity and inclusion, collaboration and partnerships. In 2021, three areas were prioritized to move forward: Develop, implement and evaluate strategies to promote the impact of CanChild; Develop and implement a clear partnership strategy; and Embed knowledge translation strategies into research using KT science.

Research Impact
This group was tasked with developing and promoting strategies to promote the impact of CanChild as well as optimizing existing resources to maximize our global and local impact.
Partnership
This group focused its work on identifying and strengthening key stakeholder relationships with consideration for diverse representation, equitable supports, and meaningful inclusion. An inventory was created that identified tools to evaluate partnerships and a study is currently being developed to explore quality of CanChild partnerships from the partner perspective. In 2022:
- The CanChild Partnership Strategic Plan work group completed an autoethnographic study in which three project teams met to discuss their longstanding partnerships with diverse stakeholders. They submitted a publication to report on how these partnerships developed, their strengths, their challenges, and recommendations for partnership development.
- The group is completing a qualitative descriptive study to investigate how the youth, parents, clinicians, managers and policy makers engage in collaborative research with CanChild. Data collection is compete and analysis is ongoing.
- The group is helping to identify the roles and descriptions of CanChild partners to help inform CanChild’s membership, outreach, and description of our partners.
Knowledge Translation
Throughout 2021, this group worked closely with Matter of Focus to conduct an in-depth understanding of KT science impact using four CanChild projects as examples. These projects were highlighted at a showcase event in February 2022.
Research Highlights

Family Engagement Program
The Family Engagement Program is led by a dedicated team of family leaders and pediatric health service researchers in Canada. We are working to advance family engagement in the field of neurodevelopmental disability and child health research and practice through equitable training, knowledge mobilization, and research initiatives.
Family Engagement Training:
The Family Engagement Fundamentals is a foundational training opportunity (3-hour in-person or online course) that aims to reach a broader audience and increase learner knowledge and awareness of family engagement. The training was co-developed by researchers and family leaders throughout 2022 and launches in 2023.
The Family Engagement in Research (FER) Course brings together family members and researchers to enhance knowledge and develop skills in family engagement in research. In 2022, there were 107 new graduates across four cohorts (including two international cohorts in the Netherlands and Australia). Since 2018, there are 300 FER Course graduates across 10 Canadian provinces and 14 countries. There are three on-going studies to evaluate the FER Course including: i) a pilot study on the first six cohorts; ii) a longitudinal study on the long-term impact of the course over two years; and iii) a study on the scalability of the FER course in the Netherlands and adaptation process.
The Leadership Academy was launched in Fall 2022 to support FER Course graduates in becoming leaders and mentors in family engagement across Canada and internationally. In the inaugural cohort, 11 researchers and family leaders were trained to champion family engagement at an organizational level. In 2022, ethics approval was received to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the FER Leadership Academy 2023 cohorts.
Family Engagement Knowledge Mobilization:
The Knowledge Mobilization and Brokering Program is led by the Knowledge Broker, Rachel Martens. In 2022, the knowledge mobilization initiatives include: i) the FER Course Twitter account (>860 followers) to share events, news, and opportunities relevant to FER graduates and the public; ii) a monthly FER newsletter (>380 subscribers) that highlights FER alumni accomplishments, KT Tools developed in the course, and patient-oriented research related training, publications, and engagement opportunities; iii) the Parents Partnering in Research (PPR) Facebook Group (>430 members) for researchers and family members to share knowledge, build networks, broker relationships, and increase awareness of research engagement opportunities; and iv) Luke’s Legacy Family Research Rounds, a monthly virtual discussion forum on topics in childhood disability research.

CHILD-BRIGHT Network
Our study is part of the CIHR-SPOR funded CHILD-BRIGHT Network and responds to the needs of families, and the need for systematically well-designed research approaches to co-create evidence-based e-health transition interventions through ongoing youth, parent/caregiver and health care stakeholder engagement.
To help youth with brain-based disabilities (BBD) get ready for the transition from pediatric to adult health care, we developed the MyREADY Transition™ BBD App in collaboration with patients, families, health care stakeholders, and industry partners. Now, we are evaluating the App in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in four regions: Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes.
- Our study has responded to the needs of families as well as the need for systematically well-designed research approaches to co-create evidence-based eHealth transition tools.
- We recruited 52 participants in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes for our randomized controlled trial (RCT). Participant follow-up is continuing in 2023.
- Despite the many impacts of the pandemic, our research team maintained strongly connected, and committed to true collaboration with our patient and family partners.
- Together with our partners, we co-presented experiences preparing and conducting the RCT by publishing our research protocol. We also delivered presentations, posters, and webinars to share about our collaboration.
- Our team co-developed print, electronic, and video resources to improve the overall experiences of participants, to offer support and guidance for using the App, and to prepare research staff for conducting study visits.
- Our results focus on sharing our learning related to setting up a multi-site patient-oriented research trial, co-creating an App with patients and families, the feasibility of recruiting and conducting a trial virtually, as well as some information about experiences and benefits of using the App.
We are learning from trial participants about how the App content can best serve families as a resource in the future. National Transition Guidelines were created in 2017 but have not been widely implemented. Our work coincides with, and supports the recommendation for assessment of transition readiness and tailored interventions to foster skills and knowledge.
We gratefully acknowledge funding from the CHILD-BRIGHT Network, under the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) initiative, and with partner support from Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation, McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences, New Brunswick Health Research Foundation, McMaster Children's Hospital Foundation and Hamilton Health Sciences.

COVID Time Capsule
The purpose of the COVID Time Capsule study is to identify what services and supports Canadian children/youth with disabilities (ages 8-21) and their families need as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to better understand the gaps in access to health services and supports during COVID, what pre-existing gaps and inequities were highlighted or exacerbated by COVID, and what lessons from this experience can inform ‘best practices’ after COVID. Informed by the principles of patient-oriented research, COVID Time Capsule project is co-designed with youth with disabilities (who are youth advisors or “junior researchers” on the study) and their parents who are co-investigators.
The first part of the study uses photo elicitation and semi-structured interviews to learn about the experiences of children/youth and their parents. Children/youth complete a visual worksheet called a COVID Time Capsule and then take part in an online interview to talk with us about their pictures. Their parent also takes part in a separate interview to share their own experiences. In the second part we will draw on what we learn from the interviews to develop a survey to identify in greater detail children’s needs for health, education and community-related systems of supports.
Last year (2022) we co-developed research instruments and recruitment materials with our team of youth and parents, and began recruiting participants

The PREP Approach
With funding from CIHR (Anaby et al., 2020-2023; $271,576), our team continues to build evidence to further support the Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation (PREP) intervention. Specifically, through project BEYOND (Body-function Enhancement for YOuth through participatioN in real-worlD contexts), we have shown that PREP is effective in improving participation of 21 youth and young adults with physical disabilities even during the COVID-19 pandemic. BEYOND examines the impact of participation in self-chosen activities on outcomes at the body-function level (motor, cognitive, affective). Results, indicating a significant improvement in both performance and satisfaction of chosen activities (e.g., badminton, piano, photography) during adverse times (where many participation programs were unavailable) as well as in some aspects of body functions (especially motor-related outcomes). These results were presented at four international conferences in 2022 (the 34th EACD, WFOT, CAOT, CAPA). The perspectives of youth and therapists (collected via interviews) have been examined and will be presented in the upcoming EACD conference. The BEYOND project was recently awarded an additional CIHR grant (Anaby et al., 2023-2027; $631,124) to further test PREP in both Quebec and Ontario.
PREP is going global
Our team has collaborated with researchers and stakeholders in Ireland, Israel, Brazil, Netherlands, and Australia to further test the usefulness of PREP in different contexts and populations. To illustrate, PREP was found effective in improving participation of school-aged children with a history of preterm birth in Ireland as well as young adults with spina bifida from a unique socio-cultural context in Israel. International delegates were also introduced to PREP via a pre-conference workshop at the World Federation of Occupational Therapists conference (held in Paris, France).
New Evidence to Support Implementation of PREP
The PREP intervention is applicable in many clinical settings and contexts. It was successfully implemented in inclusive schools in Israel through a nation-wide KT intervention strategy targeting school-based occupational therapists (Waisman-Nitzan et al., 2022) and occupational therapy managers (Waisman-Nitzan et al., accepted). Our work, done in collaboration with the Israeli Ministry of Education, and guided by the P-KT (participation-focused framework; Anaby et al., 2021), was also featured in the COPM Newsletter. In addition, the process of implementing PREP in a unique private practice in Ontario, The Dance Ability Movement, was described in OT NOW (Ryan et al., 2022).

Page load linkYouth Engagement in Research
Researcher-youth partnerships are essential to set research priorities that are meaningful, relevant, and meet the needs identified by youth themselves. While research partnerships are increasingly becoming an expected practice in child health research, few training programs exist in Canada and none, to our knowledge, are tailored for youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD). Further, this project was conceived as a direct need to fill the gap for training support for youth, expressed by members of the CP-NET Stakeholder Advisory Committee.
The Youth Engagement in Research project aims to address this training gap by co-developing training materials for researchers to equitably engage youth as partners throughout the entire research process. Our team of five CanChild researchers, four young adults, and one parent with lived experience partnered as co-investigators throughout the preparation, execution, to knowledge translation stages of research. The collaborative expertise and lived experience of our team members shaped our research, ensuring what we ask and how we conducted the study was meaningful and relevant to youth with NDD.
We submitted a manuscript in October 2022, which details our qualitative findings on the training needs of youth with NDD and our learnings from engaging in a patient-oriented research team. We have also disseminated our findings at various conferences in 2022, as outlined below, where partners and researchers co-presented. We hope to continually raise awareness about the value of youth engagement in research and explore ways to co-train youth and researchers in the future.

Training Intervention and Program Support (TIPS)
As a result of the public health restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, considerable momentum exists supporting the uptake of Family-Centred Telehealth (FCT) and fostering its ongoing sustainable use within accessible and supportive services for the families of children with disability. For this to occur, therapists need to be supported. The Training Intervention and Program of Support (TIPS), funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (2021-2025) will co-create a training program/program of support (TIPS), and evaluate its implementation to enhance the adoption of FCT in pediatric rehabilitation centres across Canada.
The TIPS project includes researchers from across Canada including 20 sites and 8 provinces. In 2022, ethics applications were submitted to both local and provincial boards. Therapists in the four sites in Québec will start data collection in January 2023, and the TIPS training will be offered to sites in March-April 2023. The province where the TIPS training will be launched is Alberta (April-May), and Saskatchewan, Ontario, BC, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland will follow.
Measure of Processes of Care
The Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC 2.0) study is a project funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The original MPOC tool was developed by CanChild researchers in 1996 to measure parents’ experiences with the delivery of health services to their children and families. This tool was widely adopted for use in research and to evaluate health services, both across Canada and internationally. However, since then much has changed in healthcare. In this current study, we have learned what today’s parents want, need and expect from healthcare services. With this information, we have developed a new tool (MPOC 2.0) that healthcare organizations will be able to use to determine how well they meet the needs of the families they serve.
The 3-year MPOC 2.0 study began in April 2021. In its second year, the research team, made up of researchers and parent partners, continued to collect data, holding focus groups and interviews with a total of 73 parents. The information from these focus groups and interviews was analyzed and used to develop a draft of the MPOC 2.0 tool.
With the first draft of the new tool now complete, we will engage a new set of parents and service providers to provide their feedback on the tool. In the third and final year of the study, the tool will be tested. We will also develop information for service providers about what families need and how healthcare providers can meet those needs.

Michelle Phoenix has been working in partnership with KidsAbility to develop, implement and evaluate the Readiness Support Program. This program aims to improve access and engagement in children’s rehabilitation services. Early outcomes indicate that rates of missed appointments decreased at KidsAbility after implementation of the program. Clinicians and organizational managers reported that the program allowed them to uncover barriers to service use and make collaborative plans with families. Families reported that scheduling their child’s services was difficult, but they were engaged when therapists understood their child’s needs and worked with them to develop a therapy plan.
BrothErs and Sisters involvement in health care TranSition for youth wIth Brain-based disabilitieS (BEST SIBS) Study Update
We established the Sibling Youth Advisory Council (SibYAC) in 2018. To date, the SibYAC is comprised of six young adult siblings who have a brother or sister with a disability living in Canada.
The BEST SIBS Study is a patient-oriented research study that aims to understand the experiences of youth and young adult siblings who have a sibling with a neurodisability and is transitioning to adulthood, including the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. This study began during Linda Nguyen’s PhD studies in the School of Rehabilitation Science at McMaster University under the supervision of Dr. Jan Willem Gorter. Linda successfully defended her PhD thesis titled, Siblings of youth with a disability during the transition to adulthood: A synthesis of resources and understanding of their experiences to support them in current and future roles, in the School of Rehabilitation Science at McMaster University in June 2022.
The Sibling Youth Advisory Council (SibYAC) have been partnering with us on this study since 2018. In the BEST SIBS Study, we engaged with six young adult siblings (ages 21 to 28 years old, 1 brother and 5 sisters).
In the Fall 2022, we drafted the results of the BEST SIBS Study, which will be submitted for publication in Spring 2023. We are currently designing the infographic of the study results to share with the community.
Highlights of our partnership in 2022:
- Linda Nguyen had an opportunity to complete an internship in The Netherlands under the co-supervision of Jan Willem Gorter and Marjolijn Ketelaar, which she shared the partnership with the SibYAC and results of the BEST SIBS Study with three research teams:
- RIO Presentation at the Centre of Excellence for Rehabilitation Medicine, UMC Utrecht Brain Center, De Hoogstraat Rehabilitation;
- Scientific Colloquium Clinical Child and Family Studies at Vrije Unversiteit Amsterdam; and
- Research presentation at the Zuyd University of Applied Sciences.
- We presented with an international team, including Canada, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom to share conversations about our partnership with young people as a virtual symposium at the Australasian Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine and the International Alliance of Academies of Childhood Disabilities ‘Better Together’ Conference (AusACPDM/IAACD) 2022.
- Following our symposium, we shared our partnership with the SibYAC as a case study with other teams from Canada, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom as a publication.
- We shared the results of the BEST SIBS Study as a co-presentation at the CHILD-BRIGHT Virtual Symposium in December 2022.
We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Fellowship: Patient-Oriented Research Award – Transition to Leadership Stream and the Graduate Student Fellowship in Patient-Oriented Research through the CHILD-BRIGHT Network to support our partnership with the Sibling Youth Advisory Council and this study.

TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD DURING COVID-19: Learning from Canadian Youth with Special Healthcare Needs and their Families to Foster Effective Transitional Care Interventions
Over the past several years, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nearly every aspect of our usual way of living. For Youth with Special Health Care Needs (YSHCN), the pandemic has created even more disruption in their lives such as the fear of COVID-19 worsening fragile health, disruption of usual daily routines (especially school), lack of usual health, social supports and/or services, and social isolation. While we have heard a lot of negative stories, we understand that there have also been positive changes to our systems as a result of the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to better understand both the positive and negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of YSHCN as they transition from pediatric to adult health services. We not only want to learn about the impact on their healthcare transition but also on other life transitions as well. Our study results will help make recommendations for solutions that are working, those which should be started and ideas for the future.
This is a three-phase study in which the (approximately 30-40) qualitative interviews in phase 1 will inform the development of a quantitative survey (with a target of 500 respondents) in phase 2, and these two phases together will inform our dissemination activities in phase 3. We use an integrated Knowledge Translation (iKT) approach where YSHCN and parents of YSHCN are active research team members, collaborating on every stage of the research process from the development of the research question and methodology to data collection, interpretation of findings and dissemination of results.
In 2022, we began phase 1 and have completed interviews with 15 YSHCN and/or their parents to learn about the ways in which the pandemic impacted: i) autonomy and independence; ii) interpersonal relationships; iii) planning for the future such as school, employment; and iv) lifestyle changes/healthcare self-management. Interview participants include YSHCN (with a disability or chronic physical/mental health condition) between the ages of 16-24 who live in Canada and who communicate in either English or French.

Growing into adulthood with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: comparing patient experiences and systems to optimize care (GrowDMD)
The purpose of the GrowDMD project is to study the challenges that adolescents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) face when transitioning from the pediatric to adult healthcare system. This study will collect data from individuals with DMD and their caregivers living in three different countries (Germany, Italy and Canada) with similar medical systems but differing organizational and geographic structures to explore:
- how individuals with DMD and their caregivers experience transition ;
- what concepts and policies are in place to facilitate transition in healthcare for individuals;
- how can transitional care for adolescents with DMD and their caregivers be improved.
The data collected will be analyzed to make improvements to the transition process and increase opportunities for participation for individuals with DMD. The guidelines developed from this study can be used to create a model for the care path of DMD patients, and the learnings from this project will be shared internationally. In line with principles of patient-oriented research, this project also collaborates with patient research partners (youth with DMD and their caregivers) in all stages of the research process so that the findings are relevant and useful to patients and caregivers.
In October 2022, the international team met for their first kick-off meeting in Germany, followed by the development of the study website.
C-BiLLT - Computer-Based instrument for Low motor Language Testing
Since 2018, researchers at CanChild have tested the validity, reliability, and feasibility of the Canadian English Version of the C-BiLLT (Computer-Based instrument for Low motor Language Testing - CAN). C-BiLLT is an innovative Dutch tool that uses alternative access methods to assess spoken language comprehension in children and youth with CP who are non-speaking The tool is the first on its kind to provide a reliable, evidence-based assessment for these children, opening doors to better support, treatment, and education.
With funding from the Hamilton Academic Health Sciences Organization (2018-2021), we conducted a validation study of the Canadian English language translation of the C-BiLLT. The results showed that the C-BiLLT - CAN is valid and reliable, indicating C-BiLLT it is an adequate test for measuring language comprehension in English-speaking Canadian children. Further testing of the C-BiLLT in the Canadian clinical context is needed, as we were unable to recruit enough participants for this part of the study due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A manuscript was written and published in the Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine.
Further work throughout 2021 included a cross-sectional survey completed by 90 clinicians in the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium where the C-BiLLT is currently routinely used. This study provided evidence for how the C-BiLLT was being used in clinical practice and reported on its implementation status. It demonstrated how clinicians were using the C-BiLLT with children with CP and with children with a variety of other developmental difficulties. In a follow-up interview study, members of our team explored clinicians’ behaviours with regards to using the C-BiLLT in more detail. We wanted to understand how capability, opportunity and motivation played a role in the adoption, implementation, and use of the test in clinical practice. The study identified a need for additional implementation supports for clinicians who use the test with the intended population, i.e., children with severe motor and speech impairments. Supports were identified as particularly important for clinicians using the test with children who had significant visual impairments. A manuscript describing the survey study is accepted for publication at Augmentative and Alternative Communication and the interview study was published in BMC Health Services Research Interview.
Drs Cunningham and Chau received CIHR funding to continue supporting implementation of the C-BiLLT in Canada (2022-2026). The new project is entitled “Innovative language assessment for children with low motor and speech function: Engaging stakeholders to understand the necessary conditions for implementing the C-BiLLT in Canada”. With this grant, and by integrating knowledge gained regarding practice gaps identified in previous studies, the team will identify and address barriers to C-BiLLT use in Canada and develop and implement a virtual training for clinicians. The project’s three aims are to (1) understand Canadian clinicians’ and families’ current language comprehension assessment experiences and needs, as well as their perceived barriers and facilitators to using the C-BiLLT; (2) modify and test the C-BiLLT’s accessibility (access methods) with Canadian children to ensure all children have access to a reliable assessment of their language comprehension; and (3) develop and pilot an online training for clinicians to support implementation in Canada. The project involves a collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and family research partners. In 2022, the team obtained ethics approval to work on this study at 8 sites in Canada (6 in Ontario, 1 in New Brunswick, 1 in Alberta). Data collection for Aim 1 began by collecting information from Canadian families and clinicians via online surveys, and focus groups are now underway.

A Program of Research to Advance Studies of Partnering for Change (P4C) and Tiered Rehabilitation Service Models Delivered in School
Partnering for Change (P4C) is a tiered model for delivering inclusive occupational therapy services in schools. The P4C research team, led by Dr. Wenonah Campbell, is completing a multi-year study to learn how, when, why, and for whom P4C works best to help therapists, health care agencies, schools, and government identify how best to provide tiered school-based OT services across the province. With funding from the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, the team is using a multiple-case study replication design and working in partnership with children’s treatment centres to study P4C in ten schools across the province.
In 2022, the team completed interviews with educators, occupational therapists, therapy assistants, families, principals, and administrators from school boards and children’s treatment centres; collected reflective journals from occupational therapists and therapy assistants; surveyed families, educators, occupational therapists and therapy assistants; and collected detailed data about the P4C service. Iterative data analysis is continuing to enable comparison of findings across the cases to identify how P4C “works” in the unique contextual circumstances of each site. These comparisons will offer valuable insights about important considerations when adapting P4C in new contexts including what elements of P4C can vary, when, for whom, and by how much to get optimal results and value for the resources invested, enabling the development of guidelines and practical tools to help others use tiered services in their schools.
In addition to leading ongoing studies of P4C, Dr. Campbell and the P4C team are evaluating the resources within the online professional development program, FIRST, that they created to support speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists who provide rehabilitation services for children at school. The FIRST Program consists of an online asynchronous course (FIRST Course), a resource kit (FIRST KIT), and a collection of answers to frequently asked questions prepared by senior clinical experts and researchers (FIRST FAQs). It is available for free at first.machealth.ca. A mixed-methods program evaluation of the FIRST Program is underway to determine how it can be adapted or expanded to better meet people’s needs. Since launching in May 2020, the FIRST Program has been visited 6,115 times by users from 67 countries! There have been 20,651 pageviews and 1,435 registrations for the program.
Back2Play
The incidence rate of concussion in children and youth in Ontario has increased significantly over the past decade, representing a growing population health risk. Prof. Carol DeMatteo has spent her career seeking solutions to improve the lives of children/youth and their families following concussion, with a focus on returning to normal function. To improve recovery outcomes, evidence-based protocols guiding youth in safely returning to school and activity were developed by her and her CanChild research team (RTS/RTA) and have been revised based on further research findings. It was found, however, that adherence to these protocols could be improved with more user feedback and guidance. This led to the development of the interactive Back2Play App which comprehensively monitors concussion symptoms and provides real-time activity/ heart rate data through wearable technology to guide children/youth through the RTA/RTS protocols. This research program has advanced through 3-phases; 1. development of the App, 2. pilot testing with 17 concussed youth and 3. evaluating the Back2Play App’s efficacy in a Randomized Control Trial (RCT).
Our goals for the RCT are:
- To recruit 160 participants with our partners Montreal Children’s Hospital, McMaster Children’s Hospital and the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School Board.
- To assess whether The Back2Play App prevents reinjury 3 months after initial injury as compared to Usual Care.
- To assess whether The Back2Play App shortens the duration and intensity of post-concussion symptoms as compared to Usual Care.
We are presently recruiting participants who are:
- Between 10-18 years old.
- Have recently been diagnosed with a concussion.
- Have NOT been admitted to a critical care unit.
Participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention group where they receive an Apple Watch with The Back2Play App, or the Usual Care group where they receive typical post-concussion care from their health provider(s). We are hoping to reach our sample size numbers by the fall of this year with data analysis to follow in 2024. If you know a child who has had a concussion, and is interested in learning more about the study, please contact us at concuss@mcmaster.ca

ENVISAGE (ENabling Visions And Growing Expectations) is a program originally developed by Canadian and Australian researchers, clinicians and parents of children with disabilities to give other caregivers the tools to conceptualize contemporary strengths-based ideas about health and development. The goal of ENVISAGE-Familieswas to help parents be able to communicate and collaborate with service providers, and connect with other parents in similar life situations. The program has since expanded to offer these ideas and materials to service providers (ENVISAGE-SP) and to members of communities distinguished by culture (ENVISAGE First Peoples) and language (ENVISAGE-Croatia). With further experience and requests from a wide range of people, the ENVISAGE PROGRAM is striving to accommodate these requests, and planning for other applications is anticipated in the future.
In 2022, the ENVISAGE team published the results of data collected from the 65 parents of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities who participated in the ENVISAGE-Families workshops across Australia and Canada. We found that at all stages of the development of the materials and the delivery of ENVISAGE, parents were both pleased and very supportive and helpful. The program itself – five weekly virtual workshops co-facilitated by a parent and a researcher – led to marked enhancement of parents’ self-reported sense of empowerment and their sense of confidence in parenting. Qualitative findings from scores of interviews confirmed parents’ sense of the value of what one parent called ‘Early intervention for parents!’
Over the course of 2022, presentations were given at the Australasian Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine, Melbourne and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Melbourne, and a poster at the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, 12th World Congress, Vancouver, BC.

In December 2022, the Government of Australia’s Department of Social Services awarded the ENVISAGE team a 3-year, $6.9M AUD grant to deliver the ENVISAGE-Families program across their country. Work was undertaken to update the program modules and begin training Service Providers and Parent Peer facilitators to deliver workshops beginning early in 2023. We will be reporting next year on the national rollout of this program.
ENVISAGE-SP (ENabling Visions And Growing Expectations for Service Providers) is a program co-developed by researchers, clinicians and parents of children with disabilities for Service Providers (SPs) who work in the field of paediatric disability. ENVISAGE-SP promotes the adoption of a holistic, strengths-based, function-promoting, family-centred approach to children’s health and development. The program (i) provides the tools to conceptualize contemporary ideas about health and development; (ii) encourages the implementation of these key ideas in the clinical practice of SPs; (iii) aims to improve the application of family-centred services (FCS); and (iv) strengthens SP-family communication and engagement. This program complements the ENVISAGE-Families program so that everyone involved in child-onset neurodevelopmental disability work can use a common lens and language with a view to supporting families and setting shared goals, expectations and priorities.
ENVISAGE-FP (ENabling Visions And Growing Expectations for First Peoples) is a program under development in Australia for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. In conjunction with the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH), this program is currently being culturally adapted for national delivery in 2023.
ENVISAGE-Croatia is an adaptation of the ENVISAGE-Families program tailored linguistically and culturally for delivery in Croatia. This program was developed and delivered in 2020 to 2021 as part of Monika Novak Pavlic’s doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Peter Rosenbaum. The objectives were: (1) to perform cross-cultural and language adaptation and proof-of-concept pilot exploration of an innovative, strengths-based support program ENVISAGE-Families for parents of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities in Croatia; (2) to refine the Croatian version of the program according to the pilot study results; (3) to run the first set of ENVISAGE workshops and evaluate their impact on Croatian parents’ perception of self, their child with a disability and their family; and (4) to learn about participants’ experience with the program. The program was successfully piloted in Croatia according to all feasibility criteria and outputs. The results showed that ENVISAGE-Croatia is an acceptable and valuable program for parents of children with developmental disabilities in Croatia, as viewed by parents of children with NDD (0-18 years) and professionals working in the field of childhood disability. In the pilot implementation of ENVISAGE in Croatia, we were interested to assess the perceived changes that occurred as a result of taking part in ENVISAGE. Based upon exploration of the findings using discourse analysis methodology, ENVISAGE-Croatia was shown to be a highly valuable program for empowering mothers of children in their perception of themselves, their child with a disability, and their family. We observed desirable changes on all three domains of variables: an increase in positive and a decrease in negative verbal expressions about self, child with a disability and family. Mothers who completed the study consistently reported high satisfaction with the program across the sample. As ENVISAGE continues to grow in Croatia and internationally, it will be equally important to assess its effectiveness and processes of implementation process through both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Dr. Novak Pavlic successfully defended her thesis in September 2022. We hope that this program will be the first of further international work in various settings across the globe.

Envisage study link.The F-words for Child Development Research and Knowledge Translation Program
The F-words Research and Knowledge Translation Program had another exciting and productive year with F-words uptake continuing at the local, national, and international levels. In 2022, we worked with families, youth, service providers, researchers, and policy makers to support the dissemination and implementation of the F-words across Canada and internationally. We have highlighted some of our key projects/activities below.
Training and Services
F-words Foundations I and II Workshops
CanChild’s invited F-words workshops are developed collaboratively with each organization, delivered by members of our F-words team, and are offered online using Zoom. The Foundations I workshop introduces the F-words, its theoretical grounding, and offers examples of application from families. The Foundations II workshop includes examples of implementation of the F-words and interactive exercises tailored to the organization’s needs and requests (e.g., family-centred service). In 2022, we co-led 13 Foundations workshops with organizations across Ontario and British Columbia, Canada, and Iceland.
You can learn more about our F-words Foundations workshops here.
F-words Implementation Program
In 2022 we developed an F-words Implementation Program to build knowledge, skills, and capacity within organizations to support F-words implementation. The program begins with a three-hour, interactive implementation science training on Zoom with the organization’s F-words implementation team. Over the following months, we support the development of an F-words implementation plan. Our team provides consultation services for one year upon finalizing their plan and as their team begins implementing the F-words. In 2022, we piloted this program with one organization in British Columbia and an adapted program version with one organization in Ontario.
F-words Translations
Each year we receive numerous requests and interest for language translations of the F-words ideas, tools, and resources. In 2022, the following language translations were completed: Danish, Arabic, Icelandic, Finish, and Khmer. Five are currently in progress (Indonesian, Greek, Japanese, Slovak, and Welsh). All translations are available here.

Studies and Projects
F-words Implementation Study (2020 – present)
Since January 2020, CanChild’s F-words Team and five child/family health services organizations from Ontario (Children’s Treatment Network, Halton Region Children’s Developmental Services, KidsInclusive/EnfantsInclus-Kingston Health Sciences Centre), Manitoba (Specialized Services for Children and Youth) and Auckland, New Zealand (Paediatric Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy) have worked collaboratively to plan and conduct a multi-site F-words implementation study. The objectives of this study are to i) explore the implementation process and evaluate implementation of a multi-faceted ‘F-words intervention’ at an organizational level and ii) assess the perceived impact of the ‘F-words intervention’ on services by parents/caregivers and service providers. The ‘F-words intervention’ is the F-words framework/ideas coupled with tailored, evidence-based implementation strategies (e.g., educational materials, embedding F-words in service reports and record systems, F-words champions, F-words Community of Practice). This is a pre-post study using surveys, interviews, and focus groups, and tracking and monitoring the strategies used to implement the F-words.
In 2022, Canadian organizations finished carrying out their implementation plans, we completed data collection for research objective one, and began post-data collection for research objective two. The organization in New Zealand began pre-data collection and implementation planning. Formal data analyses are underway for the Canadian organizations. Examples of implementation strategies applied by each organization can be seen here.
Grounded in study learnings and our organizational partners’ enthusiasm and commitment to F-words implementation, we applied to two Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) grant competitions in 2022. The first was CIHR’s Planning and Dissemination Grant competition to explore the relevancy and cultural safety of the F-words for First Nations families in Ontario and Manitoba. The second was CIHR’s Transforming Health with Integrated Care – Implementation Science Team Grants competition to support F-words scalability and sustainability at a national level.
F-words Foundations Course (2021 – present)
Throughout 2022, work on the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services (MCCSS) funded online F-words Foundations Course continued. Five online, self-paced F-words training modules were developed to accommodate the increasing demand for training in Ontario and beyond. The training incorporates contributions from families and service providers from 11 countries around the world. F-words tools, links to additional resources, and a workbook complement the module videos and content.
The program was launched to Ontario Children’s Treatment Centres and SmartStart Hubs partners in 2022 and will be shared worldwide in 2023. The process to translate the materials into French was initiated in 2022.
The F-words team was also involved with the MCCSS on their SmartStart Hub project through consultation as members of a Children’s Treatment Centre (CTC) Hubs working group and introducing All About Me as a tool for introductory conversations. This tool combines F-words-based open ended questions with queries to identify specific functional concerns and needs.
We extend our thanks to the many families and providers who contributed to the development of the F-words Foundations Course

Conferences, Invited Talks, and Webinars
In 2022, our F-words team presented at six conferences across Ontario, the United States, Spain, and Australia, and four of these were co-presented with families and service providers. We led three webinars for the International Society of Prosthetics and Orthotics Canada/US/Mexico, Canadian Pediatric Society, and Ryerson University, and were invited to present on seven occasions at conferences (in Ontario, Greece, Croatia, Austria) and organizational meetings (International Child Neurology Association and Muscular Dystrophy Canada).
F-words Knowledge HubChildhood Cerebral Palsy Integrated Neuroscience Discovery Network (CP-NET)
The Childhood Cerebral Palsy Integrated Neuroscience Discovery Network (CP-NET) is an initiative funded by the Ontario Brain Institute. Through multiple research platforms, the program aims to improve our understanding of cerebral palsy (CP) and accelerate the development of new treatments. In 2018, CP-NET was funded for an additional 5 years until 2023 (Phase 3). McMaster Children’s Hospital is proudly supporting three areas under the CP-NET program of research and is leading two of those areas.
Clinical Database – Understanding Risk Factors for Cerebral Palsy
The Clinical Database Platform is the largest component of CP-NET (component of ‘Individual & Family Level’). The study is led by Dr. Darcy Fehlings at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. The aim of the study is to create a large database of information about clinical risk factors, neuroimaging, genetics, neurodevelopmental factors as well as the psychosocial and participation dimensions of children’s lives. It is hoped that the information collected will support current and future CP-NET research questions and themes.
McMaster Children’s Hospital is one of five clinical sites across Ontario currently recruiting for the Clinical Database study. In Year 2, the study began actively recruiting for Phase 3 at McMaster Children’s Hospital. We have successfully registered 52 participants into the study. The study has exceeded the recruitment targets for Year 5.
MyStory – Understanding the Health and Well-being of Youth and Young Adults with Cerebral Palsy
The MyStory study is part of the Wellness Platform (component of ‘Individual & Family Level’). The study is led by Dr. Jan Willem Gorter at McMaster Children’s Hospital. Through this longitudinal cohort study, we recruited adolescents and young adults aged 13-30 years across Ontario to understand how maturational changes interact with life stressors during adolescence and young adulthood and impact cognition, academic achievement, employment, social skills, and quality of life. The study hopes to empower parents, service providers and community members to provide youth with CP with enhanced opportunities for growth and life experiences.
In Year 2, the study began actively recruiting for Phase 3, Part 1 of the project that includes the completion surveys and provision of hair samples to test for cortisol (a marker of chronic stress). Participants are able to complete up to 6 years in total until March 2023. Recruitment is now complete. A total of 106 participants agreed to participate in Part 1 of the study (Phase 2 and Phase 3 combined). In total – 79 participants completed year one; 56 participants completed year two; 40 participants completed year three; 31 participants completed year four; 25 participants completed year 5; and 14 participants completed year 6 of the study. Data analysis is now underway.
The study recruited from McMaster Children’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, The Ottawa Hospital, and through partnering advocacy groups including the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy.
CP-NET Knowledge Translation
The Knowledge Mobilization & Stakeholder Engagement Platform is spearheaded by CanChild under the leadership of Dr. Jan Willem Gorter, Dr. Peter Rosenbaum, Dayle McCauley, and Alice Soper. Below are some of the activities that occurred in 2022.
CP-NET Science and Family Day: Our 9th annual CP-NET Science and Family Day went virtual again this year on World CP Day. We had >160 individuals with CP, parents, researchers, trainees, and health care professionals attend from across Canada and internationally. The conference included talks from Dana Gaell (parent and author of ‘See Me For Me’) and Professor Christine Imms. We heard updates from Drs. Darcy Fehlings and Richard Wintle regarding the CP-NET Research Programs (e.g., clinical database, neurotechnology, and genomics). There was also a parent and a young adult panel to share reflections on lived experience. You can watch all the sessions from CP-NET Science and Family Day here.
We received many positive comments from our attendees: “I LOVED IT! Thank you kindly for your hard work and dedication to the cerebral palsy community."
Throughout the day, we released six videos of CP experts answering questions about CP. Watch the videos below:
- Developmental Pediatrician Dr. Darcy Fehlings on accessing constraint induced movement therapy
- Pediatric Neurologist Dr. Ronit Mesterman addresses the debate on using Botox to treat spastic cerebral palsy
- Scientist Dr. Sarah Munce on transition to adulthood resources for youth with cerebral palsy
- Scientist Dr. Elaine Biddiss on innovative at-home therapies for youth with cerebral palsy
- Pediatrician Dr. Hana Alazem sheds light on gait analysis CP projects
- Physiotherapist Chun Kim shares evidence-based management for children with cerebral palsy.
Photo Contest: Following the Science and Family Day, CP-NET hosted a photo contest to showcase participation of individuals with CP. We received >20 photos and people voted on their favourites. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos!
Webinars: In January, CP-NET hosted a webinar with Drs. Anna McCormick and Elaine Biddiss on the CP-NET neurotechnology platform and a video game (Bootle Blast) that they developed to track the movement of children with cerebral palsy. Watch the webinar on neurotechnology here. In March, CP-NET hosted a second webinar on transition from the pediatric to the adult healthcare system with Danijela Grahovac, Jessica Geboers, and Natasha Trehan. We heard about transition from the perspective of a parent of a 19-year-old with CP, a young adult who reflected on their transition experience, and a youth who was preparing for transition to the adult system. Watch the webinar on transition here. In June, CP-NET hosted a third webinar with Dr. Darcy Fehlings, Dr. Amber Makino, and Sophie Lam-Damji on baby constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT). Watch the webinar on baby CIMT here.
Community Profiles: CP-NET community profiles are a way to showcase individuals in the CP community and to share their stories. In 2022, we published a community profile, written by Jessica Geboers, on Megan Sherwin, a competitive swimmer, university student, and young person living with CP.
Social Media: In 2022, CP-NET Today! newsletter was released in March, June, and November and currently has over 3,200 subscribers. We also actively post on the CP-NET Facebook page, to share information on upcoming events, webinars, and videos. Follow us on Facebook and subscribe to the CP-NET newsletter.
Stakeholder Advisory Committee and Research Engagement Initiatives: The CP-NET Stakeholder Advisory Committee includes young adults/adults with CP, parents, patient organizations, researchers, and clinicians. This group provides guidance and direction for research planning and priority setting, support for our annual Science and Family Day, reviews materials for publishing on the website, etc. Read more about the research and stakeholder engagement initiatives by the advisory committee:
In August 2022, the CP-NET Stakeholder Advisory Committee presented on CP-NET knowledge translation and stakeholder engagement initiatives on an international stage at the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease World Congress. View the poster here.
In 2020, our stakeholder advisory committee members initiated a project to identify the training needs of youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities to partner in research. Since then, the Youth Engagement in Research (YER) Project has been led by CP-NET stakeholders and a student researcher with funding from Mitacs and CHILD-BRIGHT Training Innovation Fund. In 2022, the YER Team completed data analysis, presented findings at the McMaster Child Health Research Day and CHILD-BRIGHT Virtual Symposium, and submitted a manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal (Patient Involvement and Engagement). The next step is to develop a training course for both youth with lived experience of disability and researchers.
In 2021, CP-NET stakeholders identified a lack of awareness among parents/caregivers of hip surveillance for children with CP. The goal of the hip surveillance project was therefore to increase awareness among parents and caregivers of children with CP about hip surveillance and improve uptake of hip surveillance through knowledge translation. In 2022, a BHSc student from McMaster University has worked on the project, including a scoping review of guidelines and knowledge translation tools on hip surveillance. Interviews were done with 16 parents/caregivers to learn more about information sources, accessibility of current information, concerns, current knowledge, and format of materials. The next step is to develop knowledge translation materials for parents.
Thank you to all our Stakeholder Advisory Committee members for their dedication to CP-NET!

Revenue
CanChild revenue is driven by a number of different streams, including product licensing and consultation. Our revenue activities resulted in a gross total of $598,000, as detailed in the paragraphs below.
Over the past year, licensing of products to individuals and organizations for use in clinical practice and research brought in nearly $110,000. Licensing products for use in industry studies brought in an additional $197,000. We did see a decrease in these revenue streams over the past year and will be focusing efforts on product awareness over the upcoming year.
CanChild also offers services to support and guide clinical practice and disability policy. Training workshops resulted in $136,000 gross revenue. This significant increase over the previous year is accounted for by the new offering of workshops focused on Family Engagement. We are excited to continuing developing our training workshops and support for implementation. Consultation projects with provincial ministries and children’s service organizations, and program evaluation through the Measurement and Analysis Service brought in an additional $155,000 of gross revenue.
We are encouraged by the continued product sales, as well as interest in workshops and consultations. Continued requests from provincial ministries in Canada and international children’s service organizations to consult on projects related to transforming service delivery speaks to CanChild’s reputation as a world leader in knowledge creation and sharing. All of these activities contribute to CanChild’s impact on policy and practice, in turn improving the lives of children and their families.
