Our foundation

Evidence, ethics, equity, and collaboration—held together.

INFANCY’s mission and values define how the society will make decisions, build programs, communicate uncertainty, and remain accountable to children, families, professionals, and the public.

01

Mission

INFANCY advances safe, evidence-based, ethical, and equitable neuromodulation for neuroatypical children and youth by connecting research, clinical practice, education, technology, advocacy, and international collaboration.

02

Vision

A future in which every child or young person who may benefit from neuromodulation can access care guided by strong evidence, developmentally appropriate standards, responsible innovation, and informed partnership with families.

03

Our values

Evidence

Ask rigorous questions, communicate uncertainty, and distinguish established knowledge from emerging possibility.

Safety & ethics

Put well-being, dignity, rights, assent, consent, privacy, and long-term interests first.

Inclusion

Value neurodiversity, lived experience, cultural context, accessibility, and participation across geography and discipline.

Collaboration

Share expertise, infrastructure, data, and credit fairly.

Access

Work so geography, income, insurance, disability, or institutional resources do not define opportunity.

Transparency

Disclose relationships, explain decisions, review work openly, and correct errors responsibly.
