Health Services Delivery
Researchers at Sunny Hill and a network of research partners are involved in researching the best ways to deliver health services to children and youth with disabilities:
- By measuring the status of health and well-being of children and youth with disabilities and their families;
- By understanding the nature of the special needs they have and how they are best addressed;
- By evaluating and improving the organization and delivery of services for this population, across all relevant service sectors; and
- Through effective exchange and transfer of knowledge in this area
