Learn about pediatric epilepsy servicesPediatric Epilepsy Center
Epilepsy is a common neurologic disorder that often begins in childhood. By definition, epilepsy is characterized by two or more unprovoked seizures. While treating pediatric seizures is a primary focus, we recognize that epilepsy is often accompanied by higher rates of learning differences, attentional issues and behavior problems that also require treatment.
Addressing these associated concerns is an essential component of comprehensive epilepsy care.
