Research and real-world experience has shown interventions such as constraint therapy, botulinum toxin therapy, and interactive computer play to be effective in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy.

Telemedicine comes with a bevy of regulatory hurdles, but research presented at the 43rd Annual Child Neurology Society Meeting suggests the concept has the potential to create clinical efficiencies without sacrificing care.

Research presented at the 43rd Annual Child Neurology Society Meeting suggests neurological differences associated with autism spectrum disorders may be identifiable by as early as 6-9 months of age.

Data show a significant increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the US over the last 15 years. More work is needed to identify the genetic and environmental factors associated with increased ASD risk.
