CNF Covid-19 Content

The CNF team is working hard, in collaboration with experts and families in our community, to bring you content to help support you and your family during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are in the process of recording a series of pre-taped webinars on topics like Safety and Functional Management of Behavior, Therapy and Services Decisions, Self Care, and Telehealth.

Every week, we will be releasing a 20-30 minute video, that you can also access as a sound file, so that you can listen or watch whenever it works for you. When appropriate, we will be releasing a follow-up session with questions that we’ve gathered from the child neurology community in advance.
