DEE-P Connections has grown to be an increasingly full-service resource for families whose children are impacted by developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathies or DEEs. These are difficult to treat epilepsies that are accompanied by severe developmental delays and/or regression.

Our 45+ partners have a shared vision for DEE-P as a one-stop hub for DEE families - have medically complex children and are often confronting a range of medical issues that are hard to manage and treat - to access high quality resources and services. 

Our webinars and ever-growing Resource Center offer families a single place to find reliable, curated and vetted resources that are tailored to the DEE experience. The more than 70 webinars we have held are developed and led in coordination with leading experts in their fields—government institutions, research institutions and clinical centers—and are paired with a diversity of quality resources from our partners in our Resource Center. These resources are helping caregivers navigate the many challenges they face with their loved ones who have DEEs - improving their knowledge about how to address medical and care challenges, aiding them in advocating for and finding better care and ultimately improving quality of life for their families.

In 2023, DEE-P expanded beyond educational and research efforts to also provide critical support and community for DEE families. We are providing caregivers with opportunities to connect via DEE-P Discussions—panels of caregivers dialoguing on critical issues—as well as DEE-P Chats, which are unrecorded open sessions for families to be in community with one another to listen, learn, ask and talk with others who truly understand.
