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.
