Evidence shows that children with developmental disabilities experience poorer health outcomes than children without disability, including higher mortality and severe illness. However, despite this greater need, children with developmental disabilities and their families often face barriers to healthcare access. It is vital that the global health community improve their access to high quality and appropriate healthcare, so that they can realise their full potential and participate in their community.
This three-week course is designed to enhance your knowledge of developmental disabilities, the health needs of children with developmental disabilities and how to improve integrated healthcare provision that works in partnership with families and other essential services, such as education or social care providers.

Around 15% of the world’s population, or one billion people, live with some form of disability. People with disabilities face a range of exclusions from employment, education and community life, and despite often having higher healthcare needs, experience limited access to services. Evidence on disability is needed for a range of reasons, such as to measure the magnitude and impact of disability, highlight inequalities in access, and evaluate interventions that aim to improve the lives of people with disabilities. This evidence can be used to advocate, inform policy, plan services, and address the exclusions that people with disabilities face.
In this three-week course you will learn from researchers, persons with disabilities and policy makers as we look to enhance our understanding of the importance of evidence in disability, and how research can be conducted, interpreted and used to inform policy and practice.
