In 2015, an interdisciplinary group of professionals working in the field of childhood disability founded the Latin American Academy of Child Development and Disabilities (ALDID), with the goal of facilitating access to evidence‐based academic resources that may benefit the Latin American population. We work in partnership with ALDID to publish Spanish and Portuguese podcasts and abstracts in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology. Our Translated Material page also includes content from ALDID contributors.
