The Centre for Early Childhood Education and Research (CECER) would like to invite you to the next presentation in their Spring Seminar Series…
Please join us on June 2, 2021 from 3:30 to 4:30 pm PDT on Zoom when Dr. Susan Fawcett will be presenting:
The Family-Centred Research Experience from a Clinician-Scientist Perspective
Clinician-scientists have a unique and valuable lens on the way research and practice influence one another. This presentation will begin with a summary of an intervention study investigating a secondary prevention model of Family-Centred Positive Behaviour Support, a 14-week group parent training program for families of young children with Down syndrome. The experience of one clinician-scientist throughout the research process will also be discussed; from formulating a research question, to moving from a clinician to a researcher role with families, and finally to practical knowledge translation.
