Trailblazing our way to a better tomorrow for children and youth with neurodevelopmental disorders.

04/13/2026

One of the biggest challenges in research isn’t generating knowledge; it’s making sure it can be used in real-world care.

At PN Lab, we think about implementation from the beginning. Because research should support clinicians, families, and youth in the environments they’re already in.

Thank you, Suzanne, for leading this Journal Club on From the NICU to NDD Diagnosis: A Parent’s Perspective.

This work reinforces the need for more accessible, system-level supports to improve outcomes for children with NDDs and their families.

At PN Lab, engagement isn’t a single step - it’s something we build throughout the research process, from conceptualization to knowledge translation. We’re curious how others define this.

What does meaningful engagement look like to you?

Understanding where calming strategies fit helps set clearer expectations and supports more effective sleep care overall.

04/01/2026

This year, our focus is on moving this work forward - from research to sharing.

Our scoping review examines what the literature says about calming strategies and their role in supporting sleep. We’re looking forward to getting this work out into the world and contributing to clearer, more accessible guidance for families and clinicians.

We’re deeply grateful to the caregivers who trusted us with their stories.

Our work will contribute to improving how pediatric MRI research is done, with a goal to facilitate inclusion of all children in MRI research studies.

We recently pilot tested the Behaviours of Concern Assessment Instrument (BoCAI) in clinic. It was incredibly helpful to see how it functions in real-world care.

Thank you, Seong, for leading this week’s PN Lab Journal Club!

The discussion explored how awareness efforts can both support help-seeking and, in some cases, unintentionally increase self-diagnosis. The study also showed that brief education about the potential "nocebo effects" of awareness messaging can help mitigate this impact, highlighting the importance of careful communication in mental health education.

Thank you to Greta for leading last week’s PN Lab Journal Club!

The discussion explored how digital artifacts created during research partnerships - such as drawings, notes, or other creative outputs - can offer meaningful insight into how youth experience research. By paying attention to these artifacts, we can better understand how engagement and partnership are felt from the perspective of youth and families.

Greta and Suzanne are leading a project examining artifacts created through their own children’s experiences in research, with mentorship and support from Sarah and the PN Lab team.

Research partnership can teach us as much through lived experiences as it does through traditional data.

We’re deeply grateful to the families who make this work possible.
