This project employs the Australian and Sydney Child Neurodevelopment Registry to study to investigate the role of sleep in child development and learning for children with neurodevelopmental conditions. The aim of this project is to identify novel markers of learning that interact with sleep to understand their impact on development and well-being in children.
Camperdown - Brain and Mind Centre
The Australian and Sydney Child Neurodevelopment Registry or the Youth Neurodevelopment Research Cohort, with of which are embedded in services, largely to underpin clinical practice. We aim to collect data on the needs of people (children and/or youth) with neurodevelopmental conditions and their families.
This project works with the researchers at the Brain and Mind Centre to develop novel questions about sleep and its role in learning, development and wellbeing for understanding the needs of children and families in services. The project could investigate the use of apps and actigraphy to understand the interaction between sleep, learning and development, and to identify novel markers that can predict disability and well-being.
