In this session from our 2022 family conference, Dr. Bora Lee and Dan Crowley from the Utah Assistive Technology Program give a detailed presentation on the latest technology in assistive technology and how the improvement of these products is trending. In addition, they give some insight on how to make these accommodations more affordable than they seem and how to decide which products are best suited for your situation.

Our mission is to enhance the lives of children who need neurosurgery to treat their seizures. We do this through our impactful programs, services, and research before, during, and after surgery.

Info + Resources: Our website contains information, downloadable guides, videos, and evidence-based knowledge to help you navigate your child's epilepsy surgery journey.

Parent Support Navigator Program: Our support navigators are trained in evidence-based peer support practices. They speak English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Farsi, Hindi, and Malay Indonesian.

Surgical Evaluation Travel Scholarship: Up to $1,000 in reimbursed travel costs for families who seek an epilepsy surgery evaluation for their child more than 50 miles from home.

School Training: We help school teams understand your child's strengths and challenges after epilepsy surgery.
