Setting Up for a Successful Future in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
Preparing for Adult Care
Activity Description
The transition from pediatric to adult care for patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is often hindered by fragmented planning and a lack of personalized support. As young adult patients move from home-based care to group homes, assisted living, or long-term care facilities, an absence of coordinated transition models to guide them and their caregivers can lead to confusion, delays, and diminished quality of life. To ensure a successful future for patients with LGS as they transition into adulthood, caregivers must be aware of the differences between adult and pediatric care and how best to collaborate with the adult care team.
In this CME Outfitters live webcast, an expert health care professional and an experienced LGS caregiver will discuss the intricacies of adult care for LGS, including the key differences between pediatric and adult care in LGS as well as best practices for collaboration with the adult care team in the management of LGS.
