Child Disability

Improving the lives of children with a disability and their families sits at the core of our team.

Tourette Syndrome

Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by uncontrollable movements and vocalisations known as tics.

Rare Diseases

While individual diseases are rare, as a group, rare diseases are common. Recent estimates suggest that between 3% and 6% of the world’s population are affected by rare disease.

Movement Disorders

Our vision is to increase awareness and improve outcomes for children with movement disorders and other neurodevelopmental conditions impacting on motor function.

Measurement and Resources

We aim to ensure that high quality outcome measures are available to evaluate treatments and services for children with disability rigorously. We aim to translate our research into resources to support families, carers and clinicians.

Research

The Sibling Project

The Sibling Project focuses on the wellbeing, relationships and needs of children, adolescents and emerging adults who have a sibling with a developmental disability.
