The Building Links project
http://www.buildinglinksproject.ca
The Building Links project is funded by an award from the Quebec provincial government (2007-2010) to Professors Kim Cornish and Roger Slee (now at the Institute of Education in London). Most recently we have partnered with Dr Tara Flannagan at McGill Universty and have begun the development of an important bilingual virtual resource tool aimed at bridging the gap between important research discoveries on different developmental disorders and their application to classroom management and inclusion.
For clinicians and allied professionals I have been involved in the recent development of a new childhood disability website with colleagues at McGill University led by Professor Annette Majnemer at Montreal’s Children’s Hospital. This project is aimed at those professionals who provide services for children with disabilities and for families. It is uniquely multi-disciplinary and provides its users with updates on research findings in a forum that is accessible and translational.

In collaboration with Professor’s Patricia Minnes and Nancy Hutchinson (Queens University, Canada and other collaborators in Quebec and Ontario), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (Emerging Team Grant; 2009-2012) has funded a project that draws together a vibrant emerging team that includes parents, and a multidisciplinary group of established researchers, new investigators, professionals, students and other stakeholders from 5 centres across 3 Canadian provinces to conduct research that is responsive to the inclusion needs of preschoolers with developmental disorders as they transition into school, the needs of their families, and the need for knowledge transfer and collaboration among parents, healthcare providers and educators.
