The Professional Development workstream of the Australasian Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine has recently set up a Pacific Island focused working group. The purpose is to explore health and therapy services and activities in the Pacific Islands, for children, young people and adults with cerebral palsy and developmental disabilities and their families.
Our group needs your help!
We are seeking to map information about any groups or individuals working in health related services with childhood / adult disability in the Pacific island
Why? We are planning a Networking forum to bring people together, develop relationships and ongoing networking, share ideas and resources.
