As a non-health professional, it's very interesting to be a part of these conferences.
I've learnt a great deal about the in's and out's of research, why it's not a simple endeavour to apply the latest science into practice and why there is now such a big push for the lived experience perspective. The change of terminology to "childhood-onset" is also indicative of the life-long ramifications of conditions and injuries and is now pushing for a holistic look at therapy across the life-span.
It's always inspiring, even when it's not your field of expertise, knowing that there are others in the big wide world looking to make that world a better place for so many people. EACD / IAACD, AusACPDM and AACPDM are some of the finest conferences in the world all pursuing excellence, innovation and discovery.
