Wiley-Blackwell is pleased to publish Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology (DMCN), a Mac Keith Press publication and official journal of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) and the British Paediatric Neurology Association (BPNA).

For over 50 years, DMCN has defined the field of paediatric neurology and neurodisability and is one of the world's leading journals in the whole field of paediatrics. DMCN disseminates a range of information worldwide to improve the lives of disabled children and their families. The high quality of published articles is maintained by expert review, including independent statistical assessment, before acceptance.

DMCN aims to enhance the care of children by worldwide dissemination of clinical research into the wide range of neurological conditions and disabilities that affect children.

DMCN is of interest to researchers, all health professionals concerned with developmental disability and child neurology, and others involved in the care of children and young people.

For more information about the journal, please review the Aims & Scope.
