CONNECT-CP
A clinical research program to improve connection, access, and translation of evidence in cerebral palsy.
About the project
CONNECT-CP aims to diagnose cerebral palsy (CP) earlier and ensure all children in Western Australia (WA) have access to early assessment and support. CONNECT-CP will connect services, build local capacity and equip clinicians with tools to provide timely care for children and families. The state-wide clinical and research network will provide:
- Digital Tools for remote assessments using secure video recording & analysis,
- Specialist Education and Training for healthcare providers & families to detect CP earlier, and
- Clear Referral Pathways so families get support faster.
Who is carrying out the project
CONNECT-CP is led by Kids Rehab WA (Child and Adolescent Health Service) in collaboration with The Kids Research Institute Australia and Curtin University.
The Principal Investigator for CONNECT-CP is Professor Jane Valentine (The Kids Research Institute & Child and Adolescent Health Service), and the Program Director is Dr Sue-Anne Davidson (The Kids Research Institute & Child and Adolescent Health Service).
