Why attend?

Dementia is one of many symptoms of Lafora Disease. These free webinars could benefit families and caregivers, though healthcare providers, researchers, and advocates who attend could better understand childhood dementia.

Please note: Childhood Dementia Initiative is located in Australia, but the events automatically show up in your timezone when you view the session details. We know the last webinar will conflict with our 2023 Lafora Disease Science Symposium, but wanted to pass along the information if you are signed up to get virtual recordings of the Symposium and available on October 10 to learn about CDI’s report.

Text says 'Ask the experts: a q&a for Lafora families' over a white and gray hexagonal background.
