Partnerships
Partnerships enrich our research by providing complementary skills, new perspectives, and resources. TVCC researchers collaborate with a wide variety of partners in London, across Ontario, Canada, and the United States, including local community agencies, community associations, universities, research units/centres, and hospitals.
Involving individuals with disabilities and their families as members of our research teams helps us to ensure that our research is relevant, appropriate, and meaningful.

Research Alliance for Children with Special Needs (RACSN) TVCC's Research Program lead this Research Alliance which was active from 2000 to 2005.
