Dr. Haapala is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. Her clinical and research interests focus on the care of adults with cerebral palsy, promoting lifelong health and function and improving the assessment and management of pain in cerebral palsy. Dayna Ryan, PT, DPT, NCS is a neuro rehabilitation physical therapist, and she has worked at Michigan Medicine since 2012. She is currently a member of the Committee for Pediatric-Onset Disabilities at Michigan Medicine. This presentation will review the understanding of pain in Cerebral Palsy (CP), the role of pain phenotypes and strategies for managing or preventing pain.

MI-UCP's mission is to close the disability divide. Founded on the belief that everyone has the right to live to the best of their abilities and go as far as their ambitions will take them, MI-UCP (Michigan United Cerebral Palsy) has been an ally and an advocate for the 1.4 million Michiganders with disabilities since 1949. As one of Michigan’s key disability resources, MI-UCP provides referrals, assistive technology, financial assistance and tools, advocacy, and employment services to promote equity, independence and inclusion for all. Originally focused on individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP), currently more than 65 percent of the people MI-UCP serves have a disability other than CP.
