Lil Lab Mission and Goals
The mission of the Lil Lab is to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge concerning the adaptation of vulnerable populations in order to develop more promising practices. This knowledge will help children with school readiness and inclusion, including adjusting the services they receive, but also developing stronger social policies.
We wish all the more to promote the transfer of knowledge generated by our work to a wider audience, by creating a bridge between our research results and its target users, such as parents, teaching and non-teaching professionals in schools, political decision-makers, as well as non-profit organizations/authorities working with parents and young children.
Our involvement with decision-makers
