This research program is being done in collaboration with the CHILD research group in Sweden, led by Prof. Mats Granlund. In this research program, mental health and participation of children and young people with disabilities are investigated. The focus is on how mental health develops over time and on how the active participation of children and parent/carers in the rehabilitation process can be increased.

The program has two parts, a longitudinal study and a part about the active participation of children and parents in the rehabilitation process.
