Kids Brain Health Network is the new name of NeuroDevNet, the first trans-Canada initiative to focus on improving diagnosis, treatment and support for families raising children with brain-based disabilities.

Kids Brain Health provides innovative training opportunities to seed a new generation of Canadian researchers dedicated to the same objectives, and empowers communities with tools and information to promote earlier diagnosis, better treatment and optimal outcomes for children today, and in the future.

Kids Brain Health’s current research projects focus on autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, sleep, the social determinants of health and health economics, as supported by collaboration with core services in neuroethics, neuroinformatics and knowledge translation.
