Seizing Hope: High Tech Journeys in Pediatric Epilepsy
Tues., Feb. 21, 2023 at 4-5:00 p.m. in Lecture Room C
Families with children suffering from pediatric drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) face complex realities. In a world guided by the promises of technology, the goal of Seizing Hope is to raise awareness about the options offered by different technologies specifically for the brain in complement or as an alternative to treatment with medication. We compiled the stories of four families with children who have pediatric DRE to shed light on their hope, trust, and empowerment journey.
