Adults with Cerebral Palsy Workshop
Tuesday, September 16th & Wednesday, September 17th

*Adults with Cerebral Palsy: A Workshop to Define the Challenges of Treating
and Preventing the Secondary Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular Complications
in this Rapidly Growing Population.*

This workshop is a collaboration of the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy
and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) Lifespan Care Committee, the United
Cerebral Palsy Research and Educational Foundation (UCPREF), and Reaching
for the Stars: a foundation of hope for children with cerebral palsy. The
workshop will review the current knowledge of the incidence and prevalence
of cerebral palsy, as well as known and presumed complications of aging with
CP. The program will focus on musculoskeletal complications, motor
impairments and the impact of chronic pain and immobility. The goal is to
identify new treatments and technologies that may help prevent, treat, or
minimize the effects of accelerated aging in CP, as well as define the needs
and opportunities for advanced research in order to stimulate a more focused
research agenda in these areas.

Presentations and discussions will take place on Tuesday and the workshop
will finish with a brief closing meeting Wednesday morning. AACPDM meeting
attendees are welcome to register and participate as workshop observers, as
well as display posters of their work related to Cerebral Palsy and Aging on
Tuesday. For those interested in participating in the poster session, please
send an abstract no later than August 15th to nmaher@ucpresearch.org.
Registration is limited to 100 persons.

Registration fee: $125.00 per person (continental breakfast on both days and
lunch on 9/16 included)
