Daniela Klobucar

As a Marketing and Communications Associate, Daniela provides research and knowledge translation support across various projects at CanChild.

Her responsibilities include managing CanChild's social media platforms and CanChild Today! bi-weekly newsletter; developing and disseminating accessible knowledge translation products such as social media campaigns, videos, infographics and presentations; supporting the promotion of CanChild research, resources, and initiatives; and assisting with webinars and events, including CP-NET's annual Science and Family Day. She also contributes to content editing, digital communications, and research dissemination to help translate evidence into meaningful resources for families, clinicians, researchers, and community partners.

Daniela completed her Honours Bachelor of Science (Life Sciences Co-op) at McMaster University in 2026. Throughout her undergraduate studies, she explored her interests in child development and childhood-onset disability and completed an independent study co-supervised by Dr. Peter Rosenbaum and Dayle McCauley. This scoping review, titled Perspectives of Young Siblings of Children with Cerebral Palsy, aimed to capture and synthesize first-person perspectives from young siblings (aged 5-12) of children with cerebral palsy (CP) to better understand what is currently known about their lived experiences. Given that adult-reported perspectives do not always accurately reflect the experiences of young siblings, this work highlights the importance of including children's voices in research to support more holistic family-centred practices and inform targeted support for siblings of children with CP.

Daniela is passionate about making research accessible and meaningful for children, families, clinicians, and communities through effective knowledge translation and communications.
