Day of Dravet Workshops are a time for patients and their families to come together to learn about research and treatment options, connect with one another, and be a part of a DSF’s shared vision for a better outcome for those affected by Dravet syndrome. This year’s one-day workshop takes place on Saturday, September 24th from 12-5 ET, followed by Caregiver Lounges from 6-7 ET.
This year’s speakers and sessions include:
