The 2025 Cerebral Palsy Provider Conference will provide fresh insights into the practical application of knowledge in the early detection of cerebral palsy. Esteemed clinicians and researchers in this field will collaborate to present innovative, evidence-based approaches in the assessment and management of cerebral palsy.

This event will also serve as a platform for diverse pediatric healthcare providers dedicated to enhancing outcomes for at-risk infants through early diagnosis and multidisciplinary interventions in the realm of cerebral palsy. This conference underscores the significance of the primary care provider's collaboration with specialists in delivering a holistic and all-encompassing continuum of care.


COURSE OBJECTIVES

Our goal is to improve the knowledge of primary care clinicians, so they are better equipped to provide accurate assessments and management of care, facilitate their interactions with the specialist and improve overall care to this group of patients.

According to The National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center “Early intervention services can change a child’s developmental path and improve outcomes for children, families, and communities.”

Upon conclusion of this program, participants will be able to

  • Identify and promptly detect early motor signs indicative of cerebral palsy during routine well-child visits.
  • Explain to patients and their families the significance of early intervention in improving developmental outcomes for individuals with cerebral palsy.
  • Evaluate and oversee proficiently the comprehensive care for children with cerebral palsy, including effectively managing referrals and communication with specialists, rehabilitation professionals, and community resources.
  • Implement best practices in providing care and managing children with cerebral palsy.
  • Facilitate referrals to suitable CP specialists as required.


INTENDED AUDIENCE

This course is designed for the primary care provider, advanced practice provider, nursing staff, therapy providers, allied health, clinical research scientists and those wanting a better understanding of the presented clinical information.
