Each year we fight stigma\, provide support\, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with PANS/PANDAS and their families.

SUMMARY:Rare Disease Day
DESCRIPTION:Whether you think PANS/PANDAS is a Rare Disease or actually just rarely diagnosed\, it is a day to educate people about PANS/PANDAS. The main objective of Rare Disease Day is to raise awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives. \nAs part of this discussion\, this day is a perfect time to talk about EQUITY. Equity for people living with a rare disease is equitable access to Diagnosis\, Treatment\, Health\, Social Care and Opportunity. As we speak to schools\, doctors\, legislators\, it is important to address issues of EQUITY and our lack of access to it. At ASPIRE\, we aspire to Equity for all those affected by PANS/PANDAS. Will you join us in this effort? \nFind more about PANS/PANDAS at www.ASPIRE.care \nAlso\, PANS is listed under the NIH’s Rare Disease website and is a good resource. \nhttps://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/13087/pans \nFor more information on Rare Disease Day: www.rarediseaseday.org

SUMMARY:2019 Annual School Health Interdisciplinary Program Advancing Innovation and Best Practices in School Health
DESCRIPTION:PANDAS AND PANS: What You Need to Know\nPANDAS is the acronym for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections. A diagnosis of PANDAS is considered when there is a close relationship between a strep infection and the onset or worsening of an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or a tic disorder. PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) is used to describe a larger class of acute onset OCD. Participants will learn about the clinical presentation\, diagnosis\, and effect of PANDAS and PANS in the school\, home\, and peer interactions from a pediatrician\, nurse\, parents\, and a first-hand account from a student. \nAzam Baig\, MD\, FAAP – South River Pediatrics \nBarbara Obst\, MSEd\, BSN\, NCSN – Specialized Health Care Interagency Collaboration Coordinator Kennedy Krieger Institute

SUMMARY:26th Annual OCD Conference
DESCRIPTION:Come visit ASPIRE at Booth 11! We will be there all weekend talking about PANS and OCD.  Come listen to lectures\, join support groups\, and much more.\n \nHere are the three PANS specific lectures/events at the conference. Lots of other fantastic lectures to hear during the entire conference. \nLecture: PANS/PANDAS: Understanding the Current Diagnostic and Clinical Management Recommendations \nDescriptionThe presenters will provide insight into the PANS Research Consortium’s diagnostic and clinical management recommendations for PANS/PANDAS patients. In addition to learning how to evaluate PANS/PANDAS\, presenters will review treatment options\, including antibiotic therapy\, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory therapies\, and symptom management. \nSpeakers: Eric Storch\, Baylor College of Medicine & Margo Thienemann\, Stanford University & Theresa Willett\, Stanford University \nLecture: Multidisciplinary Care for Children with Acute-Onset OCD and Neuropsychiatric features \nDescription:  At the University of Arizona Children’s Post-Infectious Autoimmune Encephalopathy Center of Excellence\, our clinical and research focus is designed for children who present with acute onset within 48-72 hours\, with severe OCD\, movement symptoms\, and acute behavioral change. We will present on our ongoing refinement of our understanding of appropriate work-up and interventions. We will discuss stratification of cases with regard to likelihood of having an inflammatory or autoimmune etiology\, as well as determining who is most likely to benefit from treatment\, and to which treatments. We will discuss the current research on interventions for PANS/PANDAS\, and the tiered treatment protocol we implement. In addition\, we provide a functional behavioral assessment and recommendations to specific functions and family accommodation. \nSpeakers: Michael Daines\, University of Arizona College of Medicine & Peter Klinger\, University of Arizona College of Medicine \nLecture: PANS/PANDAS Support Group for Parents and Loved Ones \nDescription: Parents and loved ones of PANDAS/PANS children experience a unique stress and burden as their lives are suddenly turned upside down by severe OCD\, anxiety\, school disruption\, and behavior changes. This support group will provide strategies for navigating the labyrinth of PANDAS/PANS while allowing parents and loved ones to meet others who understand the complexities of living with these illnesses. \nSpeakers: Margo Thienemann\, Stanford University
