Exploring Challenges with Behavior, Autism, School, Speech, and more

November 17, 2024 @ 3:00 pm 5:00 pm EST

Join our SCN8A family meetings for live support and the latest research updates on behavioral challenges such as LOF and mild GOF, including behaviors, school-related issues, autism, speech, and more. Sponsored by the International SCN8A Alliance, you can talk directly with Dr. Hammer, both an SCN8A parent and the scientist who identified the SCN8A gene’s role in pediatric epilepsy and related disorders.These sessions will help you understand the complex nature of SCN8A, and learn how Loss and Gain of Function affect development and treatments. You will be able to discuss your experiences, pose specific questions, talk about available resources, get updated on SCN8A advancements, and connect with other families facing the similar challenges. Our meetings are powered by AI-assisted language translation so that no matter what language you speak, you can always join us to learn, connect, and find support.

We would like to extend our thanks to Neurocrine Biosciences and Praxis Precision Medicines for their support of these meetings which bring improved quality of life to families and allows them opportunities to learn, connect, and contribute to the understanding of SCN8A.
