AACPDM would like to CONGRATULATE Bradley Heaven on receiving the 2021 AACPDM Duncan Wyeth Award!
"My name is Bradley Heaven. I was born with Non Verbal Spastic Cerebral Palsy, but I don’t let it hold me back. I communicate using an Eye Tracker and a Surface Book 3. I graduated from Social Science from Dawson College in Montreal, Quebec. A few years ago, my best friend / business partner Danny and I noticed it was hard to keep up with trending resources to assist people with disabilities. So, we decided to create a one stop shop for help people keep up. Our website has 7 different categories, Physical Disability, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Down Syndrome, Deaf/Hard of Hearing, Blind/Visual Impairment, and the Elderly. Each of these categories have technology/gadgets to help daily life easier, Apps, Inspirational Videos, and other resources. We also review Adaptive products, do vlogs to break the stigmas surrounding Cerebral Palsy, and much more on YouTube. Our YouTube is allaccesslife, and our website is www.allaccesslife.org. Danny and I are running a marathon this fall to raise funds for All Access Life. Danny is pushing me 40 kms in my Josi Jogging Adaptive Stroller, and then Danny is going to transfer me in my Adaptive Walker and I’m going to finish the last 2.2km in my walker!!! No Limits!!!"
Congratulations, Bradley Heaven!

Further evidence supporting the importance of monitoring pain, sleep quality and fatigue in adults with CP in latest research from van Gorp and team in the Netherlands. These issues will be highlighted in @AACPDM Lifespan Care Pre-Conference Course 2021! https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09638288.2019.1694998

What is Mowat-Wilson Syndrome (MWS)? MWS is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by distinct facial characteristics, intellectual disability, epilepsy, Hirschsprung disease and sometimes, other congenital conditions. According to Orphanet, "The typical characteristic facies of MWS includes a high forehead, frontal bossing, large eyebrows that are medially flaring and sparse in the middle part, hypertelorism, deepset but large eyes, large and uplifted ear lobes with a central depression, saddle nose with prominent rounded nasal tip, prominent columella, open mouth with M-shaped upper lip, and a prominent but narrow and triangular pointed chin. The facies becomes more pronounced with age. Associated HSCR causes constipation which frequently persists after surgery. Patients usually have moderate to severe intellectual disability. Speech is absent or limited to a few words, with onset at around 4 years. Seizures are common; all types of seizures (absence, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, myoclonic, and focal seizures) have been reported. Most subjects have a happy demeanor with frequent smiling and a sociable personality. Other associated congenital anomalies can include cerebral (agenesis of the corpus callosum), cardiac (patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect), respiratory (valvular pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary artery sling, with or without tracheal stenosis), genitourinary (hypospadias, cryptorchidism, vesicoureteral reflux and hydronephrosis), ocular (microphthalmia) and musculoskeletal (pes planus, calcaneovalgus). Asplenia is rare. Affected children tend to have a high pain threshold."
