Sometimes one of the greatest challenges of caring for a special needs child is finding the right team of medical professionals. However, there are a number of resources available to help parents of cerebral palsy children find the right doctors for their special needs.
The American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine is one such resource. The group’s website is primarily dedicated to providing information to healthcare providers in the area of childhood-onset disabilities such as cerebral palsy. But it has recently added a new section to its website for patients and families. This section provides several features, including a listing of family events and websites of interest. It also provides a directory of medical professionals, so parents and patients can look up physicians according to specialty – for instance, pediatric neurology or developmental pediatrics.
