The Pediatric Epilepsy Program at University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital is a Level 4 Comprehensive Epilepsy Program. They serve patients across the entire spectrum of epilepsy from birth through age 21, with a substantial proportion of patients having developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, including Dravet syndrome. With nine pediatric epileptologists forming the foundation of their team, they offer the multidisciplinary care that is essential to effectively manage Dravet syndrome.

The clinic will be facilitating a weekly, zoom-based support group for caregivers of children with epilepsy and quarterly webinars on topics related to pediatric epilepsy.

University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital is a participating site for several clinical research studies for Dravet syndrome, including Natural History (observational) studies and interventional trials to test new therapies. In addition to clinical research efforts, several members of the team also lead and collaborate on basic and translational research to better understand the developmental mechanisms of genetic epilepsies like Dravet Syndrome.
