We are proud to announce that the Stimulation for Perinatal Stroke Optimizing Recovery Trajectory (SPORT) Project has been awarded a 2021 CHILD-BRIGHT ConneKT Fund grant, which provides funding of up to $5,000 to CHILD-BRIGHT research teams to help them finance knowledge translation events or products that increase engagement with community partners, achieve meaningful stakeholder participation, and build positive relationships between stakeholders and project members.

Project summary:
Children with disabilities may feel particularly isolated in the winter, especially given current COVID-19 restrictions. The MEGA-Mess Activity e-book is intended to get children with disabilities moving. The e-book will feature biographies of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy who participated in the SPORT trial as well as their favourite recipe, scientific experiment, and craft. Via MEGA-Mess, activities adapted for children with physical disabilities will get them using their hands and encourage families to connect with others, sharing their inspiring stories and perspectives from SPORT. Given that the ebook will be available online, dissemination potential is extensive.
CONGRATULATIONS!
