Additional Information
Despite advancements in care, patients with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) continue to experience delayed diagnoses, inconsistent access to emerging therapies, and significant unmet needs related to seizure and non-seizure outcomes. These challenges are compounded by a lack of coordinated, multidisciplinary care and limited caregiver engagement in treatment planning.
To address these critical gaps in care, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome Across the Continuum: Optimizing Seizure and Non-Seizure Outcomes from Pediatrics to Adulthood delivers a CME-certified, virtual learning experience designed to reflect real-world clinical challenges. This interactive program engages healthcare providers through expert-led discussions, real patient documentary vignettes, and facilitated case-based breakout sessions—focusing on practical, evidence-based strategies to enhance outcomes across the lifespan for individuals living with LGS.
Participants will engage in small-group breakout sessions to apply what they’ve learned and collaborate on de-identified case studies—strengthening clinical confidence and enhancing shared decision-making in practice.

Target Audience
This activity is designed for neurologists, epileptologists, pediatricians, and allied health professionals involved in the management of patients with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to:
- Summarize the different seizure types in LGS to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
- Implement strategies to reduce diagnostic delays for LGS, enabling earlier intervention and improved long-term outcomes.
- Review the mechanisms of action, clinical benefits, and limitations of emerging therapies for LGS, and demonstrate how to integrate them into individualized care plans for optimal patient outcomes.
- Apply skills to educate and support caregivers in managing LGS-related challenges, with a focus on behavioral management and cognitive support throughout the care continuum.
