This week I had the privilege of attending the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medecine (AACPDM) 78th Annual Congress 🤩  and presenting 1 pre-conference oral presentation and 2 posters! 💪 What a blast! I was particularly impressed with this year's focus on family engagement and advocacy for people with lived experience. We still have a lot to learn. ❤️  I am so grateful to the Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) for supporting me for this event, 🙏🙏 and to the Fonds de recherche du Québec and the Institut TransMedTech de Montréal for supporting my work this year.  Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine
