Research Activities for Cerebral Palsy

Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Study
The Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Study (MADDS) was the first US, population-based epidemiologic study of the prevalence of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, vision impairment, and epilepsy among school-aged children.

Follow-Up Study of Children with Developmental Disabilities
The Follow-Up Study involves a tracing and interviewing a group of young adults (including those with cerebral palsy) who, as 10-year-old children, were studied in the Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Study. The purpose of the present effort is to assess the mortality experience and causes of death within the case group from age 10 to age 20 and to characterize the status of the survivors with respect to current health status, living arrangements, socialization, employment, quality of life, service utilization, and independence.

The Infant Development Study
The Infant Development Study (IDS) is a case-control study to investigate the apparent protective effect of prenatal magnesium sulfate exposure on the risk for cerebral palsy among low birthweight children.

5 As clients of the Wayne Grant Law Firm our case was handled in a very professional manner.

We were kept informed in all stages of the lawsuit, including the expectations and future directions. Although Mr. and Mrs. Grant were the legal experts, our wishes and input were always sought and considered. Most of all, the integrity of Mr. and Mrs. Grant was above reproach. We applaud the Wayne Grant Law Firm for taking our case and successfully seeking justice for us. We would certainly use them again if the need occurred.
