LuskinOIC will host the UCLA/LuskinOIC Center for Cerebral Palsy Margaret Jones Professional Conference and CP Family Forum on March 21, an important annual event that brings together leaders in cerebral palsy care, research, and advocacy from across the country.
This year’s conference is particularly significant as it will feature remarks from Dr. Soroush Baghdadi, newly appointed director of the UCLA/LuskinOIC Center for Cerebral Palsy. Dr. Baghdadi will share his vision for advancing interdisciplinary care and strengthening community partnerships to better support individuals with cerebral palsy and their families.
The 2025 theme, “Growing Up With CP,” focuses on the evolving needs of individuals with cerebral palsy across the lifespan, with an emphasis on transitions in care, long-term outcomes, and whole-person support. The conference brings together clinicians, families, researchers, and community partners to foster collaboration and shared learning.
The event will be headlined by Dr. Mark D. Peterson, Charles E. Lytle Jr. Endowed Research Professor at University of Michigan Medicine and a Fulbright Scholar. An international leader in disability health research, Dr. Peterson has authored more than 200 publications and leads the development of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Cerebral Palsy. His work is also informed by lived experience as the father of a teenager with cerebral palsy.
The conference will welcome more than 30 families affected by cerebral palsy, more than 50 physical therapists, and a dozen high-impact community organizations for a full day of learning, connection, and support—reinforcing LuskinOIC’s role as a national hub for interdisciplinary CP care.
