Australian Catholic University is pleased to announce the new Faculty of Health Science research centre: Centre for Disability and Development Research: Enabling diversity across the lifespan, (CeDDR). Founded by its Directors Professor Christine Imms and Professor Peter Wilson, CeDDR is an international research collaboration dedicated to children with developmental impairments and their families. Childhood onset life-long conditions – for example, cerebral palsy, diabetes, intellectual impairment – are the focus of this work.
Through high impact research that influences practice and policy, CeDDR aims to enable children – whose lives are complicated by disability – and their families to meet the challenges to their development and to provide opportunities for them to thrive. Our overarching theme is: “Enabling diversity across the lifespan”.
ACU’s key international institutional partners in this Centre are McMaster University’s CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research; Radboud University’s Behavioural Science Institute; The Center for Cerebral Palsy Research at Teachers College, Columbia University; and Jonkoping’s CHILD Research Centre. In addition, CeDDR engages with parents and people with childhood-onset conditions as partners in research, including the Cerebral Palsy Support Network.
The multidisciplinary Professorial leadership group of CeDDR includes internationally renowned researchers in the field of childhood disability:

While the official launch of CeDDR is March 4 2016, on ACU’s Melbourne campus, the fruits of the collaboration are already evident in high impact publications and collaborative research grants developed during this formative period.
Informed by the framework of WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and health (‘the ICF’) the Research Programs of CeDDRencapsulate the vision and themes as follows:
