To implement this activity, commissions and working groups meet at the convention or regularly during the year.

Commissions are seven in number (white matter diseases, neuro-metabolic diseases, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, movement disorders, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities).

TCNA Internet site was created to facilitate communication between members, to disseminate information among neurologists, neurologists, pediatricians and any other person, the medical community or not, concerned with the child’s neurological diseases .

In the future, other possibilities could be developed on this site: challenging clinical case presentations, expert advice, discussion and call for multi-center studies among
