MyCP Webinar Series

You are here: / MyCP Webinar Series

The Cerebral Palsy Research Network webinar series seeks to educate the community on its findings and directions in research.  One webinar per month is presented to provide an update on its current research and key initiatives.  The webinars will be presented by the principal investigator conducting the research and include 20 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of open Q&A. These webinars will not only provide an excellent opportunity to learn about important new study topics but also to interact with the clinicians conducting these research projects.  Webinars will occur on weeknights at 8 pm ET. All webinars are recorded and posted for future viewing. The next webinar appears below followed by all recorded webinars.
