Bloorview is joining SickKids in a partnership that will bring our knowledge and expertise in children's rehab and complex continuing care (CCC) to the Middle East's first dedicated children's hospital in Doha, Qatar.
A team of researchers at Bloorview Kids Rehab have discovered that children with severe disabilities, including some children who can't communicate physically or verbally, respond physiologically to therapeutic clowns.

Bloorview is thrilled to launch our new 5-year strategic plan for innovating and excelling in teaching and learning. Bloorview's Teaching & Learning Strategic Plan 2009-2014 provides a roadmap of activities related to Bloorview students, teaching and faculty. 

Diane Savage, Bloorview's first Senior Director, Participation and Inclusion, is leading the integration of Bloorview's portfolio of community programs and life skills and wellness programs to align with our participation and inclusion priority.
In September 2009, the Bloorview Research Institute completed its first 5-year external review, led by an External Review Panel.
