On June 6–7, 2025, in Truskavets, the Kozyavkin International Rehabilitation Clinic hosted one of the year's most significant medical events—its third international conference, "Modern Achievements in Pediatric Neurology and Rehabilitology."

The event was held in memory of the Hero of Ukraine, Academician Volodymyr Illich Kozyavkin—a man who not only created a revolutionary Method of rehabilitation but also shaped a philosophy of humane, evidence-based care for children with developmental disorders.

The conference proceeded in a hybrid format: online for registered specialists from across Ukraine and around the world, and offline by personal invitation.

The event was hosted by the following institutions:

• The National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine;
• The SO "All-Ukrainian Center for Motherhood and Childhood of the NAMS of Ukraine";
• The Association of Pediatricians of Ukraine;
• The Association of Pediatric Neurologists of Ukraine;
• The Kozyavkin International Rehabilitation Clinic.

Over 30 leading speakers, including academicians, professors, and practitioners from Ukraine, Poland, and Cyprus, presented their work and findings on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of children with neurodevelopmental disorders, orphan diseases, epilepsy, and the consequences of stress and war.

In her welcoming address, the Clinic's General Director, Natalia Kozyavkina, PhD (Medicine), noted:

"This year's conference is more than just another scientific event. It is a convergence of knowledge, experience, and responsibility. We have the opportunity to discuss not only problems but also solutions, and the interdisciplinary collaboration that changes lives. This is the philosophy of respect for the child, which Academician Kozyavkin professed and which we are proud to carry on together."

The conference topics covered a wide range of contemporary issues:

• Comprehensive rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP), autism, and orphan conditions;
• Sleep and behavioral disorders in the context of war;
• Follow-up observation and early intervention;
• Innovations in functional rehabilitation;
• Diagnosis of epilepsies, autoimmune encephalitis, and PNES;
• Multidisciplinary models for the education and training of specialists.

The culmination of the conference was a master class on complex clinical cases. This format presented real-life stories of children with tuberous sclerosis, autistic behavior and speech/language delay, encephalopathy and hyperactivity, idiopathic encephalopathy, and severe forms of epileptic encephalopathy. The master class was moderated by leading experts, including Professor Liudmyla Kyrylova, Natalia Kozyavkina, and Oleksandr Miroshnykov. The demonstration was conducted in compliance with ethical requirements, with parental consent, and served as a powerful example of clinical practice in action.

"These are not merely clinical cases — they are children we care for together. And it is only as a team, only through in-depth discussion, that effective clinical solutions emerge," emphasized Natalia Kozyavkina.

Based on their participation and test results, doctors received up to 20 CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points and electronic certificates. But undoubtedly, the most valuable outcome for the participants was a sense of unity within a professional community that perseveres, even in times of war, and remains faithful to its core principle: the child is at the center of the medical system.
