AACPDM 2026 -#84- Time Toxicity and Shared Decision Making in Cerebral Palsy

What if the time a child with cerebral palsy spends in appointments, therapies and waiting rooms is a health outcome too? This episode features the three authors of the paper “Time Toxicity and Shared Decision-Making in Cerebral Palsy”: Dr. Dave Frumberg of Yale, Dr. Paige Church of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Boston Children’s Hospital, and Dr. Nathan Rosenberg of Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital. They explain what time toxicity is, why more therapy isn’t always better, and how families and clinicians can decide together how a child’s time is spent.
