Children with brain-based developmental disorders often face emotional and behavioural difficulties. These challenges can negatively impact their quality of life and the quality of life of their families. Our Strongest Families project explores whether emotional and behavioural regulation can be improved in children with brain-based disorders through parenting programs that include education, telephone support, and parent-to-parent connections.
