RESEARCH GROUP
CHILD DEVELOPMENT/ CHILDHOOD DISABILITIES

We are a group looking for innovative solutions to maximize functional levels of children with childhood disabilities in the low middle income settings. Our aim is to conduct multi-disciplinary research in childhood developmental disorders and we strive to develop locally appropriate and culturally adapted assessment and intervention solutions through evidence based practices.

We look at research opportunities covering the life course approach from birth to youth-hood.

Our research geographies span from the Gampaha District to national and multi-centre international studies aiming the low middle income countries.

One landmark project undertaken by us initiated a CP registry for Sri Lanka and will generate the prevalence of CP for Sri Lanka. Another major milestone achieved by our group is the locally validated preschool assessment tool development: Ragama Early Assessment of Children (REACh) tool. This will be nationalised in the local pre-school settings.
