"It's tough entering the school system, especially in a mainstream program. You need to challenge them, and don't be afraid to do that. It's your right and it's your child's right. Every child with cerebral palsy is different and has different needs. They can't compare one to another. That's why it's so important to listen to the parents and the experts who've provided information about the child and tailor the program to the child."

With back-to-school season in full-swing, we're sharing a helpful resource about advocating for your child at school by Dr. Heather Shearer, DC, who has twin sons with cerebral palsy.

From early diagnosis assessments like the HINE, HNNE, and GMA To real-world strategies for care coordination and emerging treatment, The Early Cerebral Palsy Health Summit is more than a professional conference—it’s part of a larger movement.

Hosted by CPF’s Early Detection and Intervention Network, the Summit connects what we know to what we do. Why does that matter?

Because babies can now be diagnosed with cerebral palsy before their first birthday. An early diagnosis can change everything — from how families are supported to how outcomes improve throughout the lifespan.

We’re proud to help shape the future of cerebral palsy care. These tools and assessments are the building block for how to detect CP early.

We're getting ready to host our 7th Annual Early Cerebral Palsy Health Summit this September 6-7, in Atlanta, GA! This hybrid Summit will highlight new pathways for turning research into real-world practice in early detection and intervention—led by top clinicians and researchers in the field.

Recent studies show cerebral palsy can now be diagnosed before a baby’s first birthday, transforming how high-risk infants are identified, families supported, and outcomes improved. ➡️ https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article-abstract/145/5/e20192126/36837/Network-Implementation-of-Guideline-for-Early?redirectedFrom=fulltext?autologincheck=redirected

Throughout the Summit, researchers will partner with clinicians to guide attendees in applying best-evidence practices to their own programs. Sessions will cover key guidelines, implementation science basics, and real-world examples—along with interactive group discussions to address common barriers and share practical solutions.
