American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM): AACPDM is a multidisciplinary scientific society devoted to the study of cerebral palsy and other childhood onset disabilities. The scope of the Academy's interests has expanded from an initial focus on cerebral palsy into related areas of developmental medicine, including spina bifida, neuromuscular disease, traumatic brain injury and other acquired disabilities, genetic disorders, communications problems, and specific learning disabilities. The site includes libraries, news, research, conferences and membership opportunities.
