Collaborating in a World in Transition, Latin American Academy on Child Development and Disability (ALDID)

Abstract

The Latin American Academy on Child Development and Disability (ALDID) is an interdisciplinary non-profit organization of Latin American professionals that promotes the integral development of children and adolescents and their families through the advancement of research, the promotion of evidence-based clinical practices, continuing education, and the promotion of the rights of children with developmental disorders and/or disabilities and their families. Aiming to reduce barriers to access to evidence-based practices and knowledge on child development and disability, ALDID has promoted scientific congresses and several knowledge translation actions. The IV ALDID Congress brought together health and education professionals, representatives of the State (Health, Education, Social) and Civil Society (NGOs, Families and People with Disabilities) to demonstrate scientific advances in the field of childhood disability as a bridge to ensure quality and full participation in the lives of children and youth with disabilities. ALDID invites all professionals to join efforts so that we can move stronger into the future and continue to collaborate in a world in transition!
