Registration is open for the 38th Annual Congress of the European Academy of Childhood-onset Disability (EACD 2026), taking place at University of Galway, Ireland, from 3 – 6 June 2026.
The old Irish wisdom ‘Mol an Óige agus Tiocfaidh Siad’ – Encourage the young and they will flourish – is the theme of EACD 2026.
This year’s congress embraces a strengths-based approach to childhood-onset disability, rooted in respect, empowerment, and opportunity.
The congress tracks will align with the internationally recognised “F-words for Child Development” – Functioning, Family, Fitness, Fun, Friends and Future - offering a holistic lens through which to support children and young people with disabilities, and their families.
