Neurological Disorders Disable 14 Million Children in the US: CNS is a nonprofit research foundation improving the lives of children disabled by neurological disorders through research focused on brain repair and regeneration.
Palmer Richmond may lack the gift of speech, but he’s got the art of
making people laugh down pat. And don’t imagine that his disability
keeps him from putting one over on his mother from time to time either.
Take the morning she went to prepare him for a session with a therapist
and found him slumped and lethargic in his chair. Thinking he was sick,
when the therapist arrived, his mom sent her away. Meanwhile, back in
his room, Palmer was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed once again.
CNS is a nonprofit research foundation improving the lives of children disabled by neurological disorders through research focused on brain repair and regeneration.

Fund high-quality research focused on brain repair and regeneration.
Sponsor meetings where physicians and scientists can work together
Encourage young scientists to pursue pediatric neurological research
Advocate increased funding for pediatric neurological research
Educate families about options for treating their children
