Improving Quality of Life for Persons with Developmental Disabilities and Autism

New Research Grant on Caregiver Safety

Congratulations to Drs. Bev Temple & Toby Martin, and colleagues at St.Amant and New Directions, for their successful grant application to the Research and Workplace Innovation Program at the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba.

The 2-year grant, titled Working with Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities: Injuries and Challenging Behaviour, aims to understand how workplace injury occurrence relates to staff education and training about challenging behaviour, to staff perspectives about their use of information from the training sessions, and to the factors most commonly associated with injuries.
