Poster Session at NATCON 2021 on PANS PANDAS
ASPIRE Presenting on PANS PANDAS
Children brought to behavioral health clinics with a sudden onset of changes in behavior and/or mood are often misdiagnosed and mistreated because clinicians don’t know the signs and symptoms of pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric disorders (PANS) or the related condition, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with strep (PANDAS) – devastating, but treatable disorders. Clinical service providers need to have accurate knowledge of this disorder so they can provide correct referrals, treatment interventions and support. A clip from the award-winning documentary, “My Child is Not Crazy” will illustrate the impact of PANS/PANDAS on children and their families.
