Ashley Wood, LCSW, LAB Method teacher and parent of a child with epilepsy is partnering with UCSF Pediatric Epilepsy Center of Excellence in San Francisco to present a series of interactive webinars about dealing and adjusting to life with an epilepsy diagnosis.

We realize that epilepsy is one of the most complicated diagnoses to navigate. In response to this hard reality, we are offering a free service that allows you to ask questions that are specific to your unique home and epilepsy.  The LAB Method team and Ashley will review your questions regularly and will present responses at monthly webinars. 

UCSF families are welcome to join the live webinar. Look for an email with log in information from Leila Marks-Block, Pediatric Epilepsy Patient Navigator. If you are a non-UCSF family, you will have access to a free recording posted at below.
