In Canada, as many as 850,000 children are living with a brain-based developmental disability and face life-long challenges with mobility, language, learning, socialization, and/or self-care that impact the quality of their lives. 

At CHILD-BRIGHT, partners with lived and living experience (PWLEs), researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and other key groups work together to build capacity in patient-oriented child health research in Canada. We strive to foster a movement for change: moving PWLEs into research teams, moving research into improved practice and policy, and moving children and families to brighter futures.
