Understanding social competencies in pediatric brain tumour survivors
Presented by: Leoanes Brael Tatchinda, Student in occupational therapy at McGill University
Supervisor: Dr. Leandra Desjardins
"During this second summer stage, I had the opportunity to work on different projects involving brain tumour survivors, but my principal focus was on the “ADOS project”. The project is still ongoing since there is a phase 2 that extends 6 months after phase 1 with an anticipation of a total of two years for study completion. The aim of this study is to evaluate and understand the relationship between cognitive functioning, emotion recognition and social behaviours among pediatric brain tumour survivors compared to a control group of children who have not been diagnosed with a brain tumour."
