World Congress on Disabilities Expo Next Month

The World Congress on Disabilities is holding a two-day conference and expo in Jacksonville, Florida on November 21st and 22nd. One of the featured conference tracks is pediatric cerebral palsy and it focuses on new approaches to treating this increasingly diagnosed condition.

Families can attend the conference to hear experts speak on various topics including:
 

• New techniques for managing spasticity and contracture
• Intensive pediatric physical therapy
• Intensive feeding therapy
• Hippotherapy
• The stages of grief for families of children with disabilities

The Congress also features a family conference track that provides information on education policies affecting children with disabilities and strategies on helping kids make their educational journeys successful.

 

Families may also find value in the expo portion of the Congress, which exhibits the latest products and services available to the disability community.
