Seventh National CdLS Scientific & Educational Symposium

The CdLS Scientific and Educational Symposium brings together physicians in various clinical disciplines, scientific researchers, teachers, and allied health professionals.

Through lectures, poster session and formal discussions, attendees will learn about medical and educational issues facing individuals with the syndrome, as well as an update on current basic science research.

At the conclusion of the symposia, participants will have a better understanding of:

• behavioral issues, specifically self-injurious behavior and autism;
• clinical management and counseling issues related to CdLS;
• best practices in educational and therapeutic settings;
• animal model studies related to CdLS and applications for these findings; and
• how specific genes disturb normal development, enabling researchers to design better diagnostic tests for CdLS and providing targets for eventual treatments
