PANS (Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome)
PANDAS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections)
PANS and PANDAS are post-infectious medical conditions that impact both physical and mental health.
Children/young people who develop these conditions may experience rapid changes across their physical, mental, social, behavioural and cognitive functioning. These can include the unexpected development of special educational needs.
Despite more schools supporting children/young people with the diagnosis, awareness remains low. Schools have a crucial role in both spotting the early signs and providing the appropriate support.
The session covers in brief:
- What are PANS and PANDAS?
- How do the conditions impact on children in the classroom?
- How can schools begin to provide support?
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the unique challenges faced by individuals with PANS or PANDAS and discover practical approaches to support their journey. Expert speakers will share their knowledge and experiences, offering guidance on creating inclusive environments and implementing effective strategies.
Whether you're a parent seeking guidance or an educator looking to enhance your understanding, this event is designed to equip you with valuable tools and resources. Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity to enhance your knowledge and make a positive impact on the lives of children with PANS or PANDAS.
