- CONCLUSIONS: Based on representation in our cohort, we propose a checklist of foundational, core, and specialty features as benchmarks for individual CP programs. Although additional work is needed to assess widespread consensus, applicability, and utility, our findings provide a preliminary framework for standardizing service delivery for centers striving to provide comprehensive CP care.

- CONCLUSIONS: Surgery guided by instrumented gait analysis substantially improved gait appearance and comfort. Clinicians should manage expectations regarding improvements in functional mobility. The disconnect between subjective patient-reported outcome measures and objective measures highlights the complexity of quantifying a treatment's full impact.

- Attrition in a telehealth caregiver-mediated behavioral intervention for children with tuberous sclerosis complex: A mixed-methods study. [Journal Article]Dev Med Child Neurol. 2026 Jul 30. [Online ahead of print]DM
- CONCLUSIONS: In this clinical trial, socioeconomic, ethnic, and geographic factors were not associated with attrition, although the study was underpowered to detect small or moderate effects. Families of children facing complex developmental disability may nonetheless require additional adaptation and support to sustain engagement in telehealth caregiver-mediated interventions. Mixed-methods integration highlighted the multifaceted nature of attrition and the need for more precise measures to understand it.
