Dravet's career is striking for her involvement with patients, families and support groups, working not only to stop seizures, but to help families deal with a scary diagnosis, and to help children reach their full neurocognitive potential.
This is the goal of every child neurologist. 16/🪑

Same in the UK. As an adult trained neuropsychologist dabbling in paediatrics, I’ve been on my soapbox about this for a while!
We need to remember that children's specialist rehabilitation services for ABI are a long way behind those for adults in Ireland. Equity needed!
