Management of Harmful and Disruptive Behavior for Caregivers

Child Neurology Foundation  hosted a webinar for Caregivers on Management of Harmful and Disruptive Behavior in Epilepsy and ASD. During this one hour webinar, former CNF President Dr. Ann Tilton shared our findings from surveys that CNF conducted of both families and child neurologists. Dr. Nathan Call from the Marcus Autism Center provided information on effective behavioral treatments for children with severe behavior disorders. Dr. David Dunn, from Indiana University, shared information on using medication to manage behavior. We hope this webinar will give you some ideas for treatment options that you can discuss with your child’s medical team. While this webinar focused on the more severe behavior challenges in epilepsy and autism, we believe the information can be beneficial for both medical professionals and caregivers looking for strategies to address any behavior issues in children with any neurologic conditions.
