Webinar

One of the most crucial challenges for families and youth with epilepsy is learning how to make the leap from being a child to an adult. The first challenge is the transition from pediatric care to an adult healthcare system.

• What needs does your child have?
• How do you find a new epilepsy team?
• What other supports will he need?
• Is your child ready to be more independent?

These are just a few questions families living with epilepsy face. Join us September 26th to talk with pediatric and adult epilepsy specialists about transitions of care.
