Power Hour: Understanding Neurodevelopmental Disorders After Epilepsy Surgery
June 30 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm PDT
Join the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance for a special webinar with Dr. Shafali Jeste, Power Hour: Understanding Neurodevelopmental Disorders After Epilepsy Surgery, on Monday, June 30, 2025, at 2 pm PT.
This webinar is co-hosted by the TSC Alliance, LGS Foundation, and CHADD’s National Resource Center on ADHD.
Many kids with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) also have challenges with learning, behavior, or attention—but parents are often left with more questions than answers. These issues may be part of something called a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD).
But what is an NDD? How do you know if your child has one? And how do you get help?
In this Power Hour, pediatric neurologist Dr. Shafali Jeste will explain NDDs in clear, simple language.
She’ll cover:
- What neurodevelopmental disorders are
- How they’re diagnosed
- How they can overlap with epilepsy, autism, ADHD, and learning delays
- How the correct diagnosis can help unlock proper supports and services for your child
This talk is perfect for parents who are dealing with:
- Behavior or attention issues
- Learning delays
- Trouble getting school services or knowing what to ask for
Dr. Jeste will discuss how these issues may be present before epilepsy surgery, may change after surgery, or show up later on. Every child’s path is different—and having the right information can make a big difference.
Who should attend?
Parents and caregivers of children with drug-resistant epilepsy (including genetic epilepsies like TSC, Dravet, or LGS) and ADHD, autism, or other neurodevelopmental disorders.
