8^th International Congress on Cerebral Palsy

Welcome Message

It is my great pleasure to invite you to participate at already  the 8^th International Congress on Cerebral Palsy in our small country Slovenia.

Cerebral palsy is a leading motor problem in childhood. In many countries its prevalence is predicted to increase. There is no single “best” treatment for all the problems experienced by people with cerebral palsy, but there is no doubt that if we start to treat a problem early on, we will achieve better results.

The aim of the present congress is to provide participants with up-to-date therapeutic approaches in the field of "Evidence based medicine" and also to cover the traditional and everyday approaches used when the services provided in advanced countries are not available.

Dogma is a dictatorship of ideology; especially in treatment approaches. It should be omitted. But wrong ideas are worse then ignorance, too!

The Scientific Program will include Plenary Sessions, Free Paper Sessions, Point/Counter Point Debates, Instructional Course Lectures, Family Forum, Live demonstrations and Videos.

The Poster session will include Scientific, Demonstration and Student Posters.

We will also feature the popular “Breakfast with the Experts” sessions each morning.

As well as benefitting from the scientific sessions we hope you will enjoy the atractions of Slovenia and take home pleasant and useful memories of the time spent with colleagues.

We are looking forward to meeting you at beautiful lake Bled in September 2010.

President of Organizing Committee
