Congress Programme

In 2026, we take inspiration from the Irish proverb:

“Mol an Óige agus Tiocfaidh Siad” – Encourage the young and they will flourish

 

This year’s congress embraces a strengths-based approach to childhood disability, rooted in respect, empowerment, and opportunity.

We are proud to announce that congress tracks will align with the internationally recognised “F-words for Child Development”, offering a holistic lens through which to support children and young people with disabilities, and their families.
