Alaa found her new community at CHEO

Posted on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 08:30 AM

Meet Alaa Abashar, Patient Experience Lead in the Emergency Department

“Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work with kids,” says Alaa. “I didn’t know how exactly, but I knew it was something I was meant to do.” In 2013, Alaa’s dream began to take shape. She moved from Abu Dhabi to Canada and started her bachelor’s degree in childhood and youth studies, with a minor in disability studies.

Grateful family gifts CHEO tools to help kids rehabilitate

Posted on Thursday, July 11, 2024 09:00 AM

For CHEO staff, Arielle Roy and Kayla Dudas, a small step for their patients represents a major sign of progress.

Roy, an inpatient physiotherapist, and Dudas, an inpatient occupational therapist (OT), are members of a team that helps children admitted to CHEO who require physical rehabilitation. In one recent case, a three-year-old girl was admitted with a condition that left her immobile. She could no longer crawl—let alone walk.

Gradually, during several sessions lasting from one to two hours, the pair worked with the girl
