Our joint fellowship with Brain Canada brought together an exceptional and diverse group of trainees focused on different aspects of brain development – from origins to early detection to effective treatment.
Seventeen trainees were awarded this two-year fellowship in 2015 and 2018. Some research topics being studied include: identifying early markers of ASD in at-risk infants, early postnatal metabolic treatment for the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and uncovering early neurocognitive risk factors for mathematical learning disorders.
This talented group of awardees consists of trainees with high potential to become leaders in their field and highly collaborative researchers that will stay engaged in the Network and the research and stakeholder communities.

Secret Agent Society: Kai’s Story
When Kai was diagnosed with autism at the age of four, his parents Abby and Paul were surprised—aside from some speech challenges, nothing led them to suspect he was autistic. Unfamiliar with the diagnosis and unsure where to turn, Abby and Paul started to connect with supports in their community.
