The IDEA system is a valuable resource to address the needs of people living with intellectual disability

Synthesized findings demonstrate that people with intellectual disability, who live in community or residential settings, may fall more frequently, and at a younger age

A project led by The Kids Research Institute Australia’s child disability team will seek to reduce potentially preventable hospitalisations and build health literacy for children and young people with intellectual disability.

Children with intellectual disability who underwent gastrostomy – a feeding tube placed into the stomach – had better overall health and fewer hospitalisations for all causes except acute respiratory illnesses, research led by The Kids Research Institute Australia has found.

Nine out of ten incarcerated youth examined by The Kids researchers as part of a ground-breaking study had some form of neuro-disability.

WA Researchers have conducted an Australian-first study to determine the prevalence of microcephaly, in preparation of any future outbreak of the Zika virus.

A new study has found children with disabilities are 3 times more likely to be maltreated compared to other children but that risk varies by type of disability.

New research from the Telethon Institute has shown that children with an intellectual disability are up to 10x more likely to be admitted to hospital.

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

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.
