Neurology and Developmental Disorders explores the broad spectrum of neurologic conditions and developmental challenges in childhood—epilepsy, neurogenetic syndromes, cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental disorders (autism spectrum disorder, ADHD), and acquired brain injuries. This session is tailored for pediatric neurologists, developmental pediatricians, neuropsychologists, therapists and researchers focused on early diagnosis, multidisciplinary management and outcome optimisation. Presentations will cover advances in neuroimaging, genetics and electrophysiology that sharpen diagnostic accuracy, plus evidence-based approaches to seizure management, spasticity care and neurorehabilitation interventions.

The programme of Pediatric Neurology Conference prioritises integrated care pathways: coordinated diagnostics (genome sequencing, MRI protocols), family-centred goal setting, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation plans that blend physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and behavioural interventions. Translational talks will examine the clinical impact of gene therapies, precision medicine approaches for rare neurogenetic conditions, and neuromodulation techniques for refractory epilepsy. Practical sessions will give clinicians tools to implement early screening for developmental delay, design individualized education plans and create tele-rehabilitation programmes that extend therapy access to remote communities.

Workshops on seizure safety, acute management protocols, and transition planning for adolescents with chronic neurologic conditions will equip attendees to reduce emergency visits and improve long-term functioning. Quality improvement panels will outline registry development, outcome measurement and caregiver-reported outcome instruments that capture functional gains meaningful to families.
