PANS PANDAS not only impacts the physical health of a student but also causes psychological, neurological, behavioral, and developmental difficulties.
Symptomology and symptom severity vary from student to student and even from flare to flare in the same student. The goal of treatment is to achieve full recovery to prevent the student’s condition from becoming a chronic, debilitating illness. Treatment includes medical protocols as well as therapeutic practices. School accommodations are an essential component of a thorough and appropriate treatment protocol. See more about how school accommodations/supports are integral to treating PANS & PANDAS. Please learn more at PANS PANDAS at School and the resource tabs below. Also, contact ASPIRE today to schedule a free virtual in-service on PANS/PANDAS.
