Overview

Dr. Martha Bridge Denckla pioneered the field of Developmental Cognitive Neurology. A master clinician and beloved mentor to physicians, neuropsychologists, and teachers, her research has revolutionized our understanding of autism, learning disabilities and ADHD, as well as the role of the motor system in disorders of cognitive development. The Child Neurology Society announces a prestigious new award in Dr. Denckla’s name to honor a physician-scientist (e.g., child neurologist, neurodevelopmental disabilities physician, or related pediatric sub-specialist) of national and/or international status.

The awardee will give a 25-minute presentation at the CNS Annual Meeting, following a 5-minute introduction by a colleague of their choosing. The awardee will receive a modest honorarium, waived meeting registration, and travel/hotel reimbursement.
