INTRODUCTION

This seminar offers a unique opportunity for

parents, families, health care practitioners,
educationalists, service providers, researchers,
policy makers & others who are directly or
indirectly involved in the care and well being of
children, adolescents and young adults with
cerebral palsy to come together to share, discuss
and create opportunities for a better future for
those who live with cerebral palsy.
In order to succeed in any area that impacts the
well being of our children with Cerebral Palsy we
need to have strong advocates and partners who
together with the individual with Cerebral Palsy
and their families can carve care pathways and
develop a plan to live meaningful and successful
lives, without limits.
