CHILD is a research environment focusing on children in need of special support and their everyday functioning in home, preschool/school and in meeting with professionals in the health and welfare systems.

CHILD is a member of the Swedish Institute of Disability Research. The program is implemented in collaboration with Örebro, Mälardalen, Linköping, and Australian Catholic Universities and Bloorview research institute.
The project
Mental health and participation in life situations are universal aspects of functioning. Mental health problems and participation restrictions are relatively often reported for children with disabilities. An over-representation of health problems for these children is reported in HabQ, a habilitation register aimed at improving services. If adapted data collection methods, e.g Ipad adaptations using gamification techniques are used also the children themselves can provide information about their mental health and participation. The program will investigate relations between participation and factors affecting participation with a focus on mental health and services provided to children with disabilities who have mental health problems. Children will be followed longitudinally for 5 years where researchers collect information prospectively and relate that to data retrieved from the Hab Q register. Children, parents and professionals collaborate, for 5 years, to develop and evaluate methods for involving children and parents in the intervention process. The program will provide information about how participation and mental health problems are related and about child and parent involvement in interventions. The information can facilitate further develop support to children with disabilities who have mental health problems.
