Description
Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders have increasingly captured the attention of researchers and clinicians in recent years. Children with these disorders may experience crippling neuropsychiatric symptoms following an illness or as the result of certain environmental factors. The healing process can be long and difficult. A very important part of the recovery process is psychotherapy. Dr. C. Alec Pollard will speak about the issues facing these children and the local resources available to support their families. Lori Suthar, the parent of a child with PANS will share her own experience.
