Community Forum

The AACPDM Community Council is excited to host the 2024 Community Forum! The AACPDM Community Council would like to express its gratitude to all the members and presenters who have generously offered their time to prepare for and participate in this event. Each presenter offers a unique perspective and expertise, providing participants with valuable resources.

The 2024 Community Forum will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at the Quebec City Convention Centre from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm ET. Registration will begin at 8:15 am ET. 

The AACPDM Community Forum is an annual in-person educational event developed by families to serve as a resource for individuals with cerebral palsy and their parents/caregivers. The Forum provides an opportunity to hear experts discuss issues affecting children and adults, and to learn about new research, medical advances, and topics that promote inclusion, participation, and impact the quality of life for those with cerebral palsy.

Spread the word! Print and distribute information about this year's Community Forum to your clients and colleagues.
