You're invited to the upcoming Child Health Research Festival 2024, taking place in Trinity College Dublin's historic Front Square from 3-7pm on 25 September 2024.
Find out how Trinity's researchers are improving healthcare for children and adolescents. Get hands on with an exciting evening of interactive exhibits, activities and displays which showcase the latest research into child health.
Children with cerebral palsy often need help to walk, but can a furry friend help to make walking more fun and more manageable?
Researchers from the School of Engineering, the School of Medicine, and the Central Remedial Clinic have teamed up to measure change in walking patterns, activity levels, and quality of life in children who receive specialised mobility assistance dogs.
Mobility Assistance Dogs in Training: Meet some of the puppies from Dogs for the Disabled who will be trained to become mobility assistance dogs. Visitors to the stand can meet some of the team and learn how these dogs are trained specially to help children with physical disabilities.
Booking not required. Suitable for all the family.
