Dr. Tom Chau and Susannah Van Damme speak to the Toronto Star about the transformational impact of the hospital’s donor-funded clinical brain computer interface (BCI) program – a global-first – enabling children, like Giselle to interact independently with the world around them, often for the first time in their lives.
Emily Chan spent the first six years of her life as a client at Holland Bloorview where she was cared for by her nurse, Jorge Santos. Now, as a social worker, Emily works alongside Jorge to nurture and support kids with the same care and attention she received as a young child.
Research trainee Stefanie Bradley speaks to CBC News about her Canada-first study with Trexo, a robotic walker, and how it can be used in clinic and school settings to help young children with cerebral palsy like Xiomara, move independently.
By day, Dr. Rageen Rajendram is a developmental pediatrician who treats children with neurodevelopmental differences. By night he’s a hip hop artist, using his music to connect with the children and youth he treats. In March, he rapped to raise funds for the hospital’s annual Capes for Kids fundraiser.
PhD candidate Marlee Vandewouw tells CTV News Toronto about a new study that suggests examining brain differences rather than diagnostic labels can provide more targeted treatments for neurodiverse kids and youth.
