This panel will highlight studies inspired, funded, or recruited by the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance focused on two issues that matter deeply to families: skill development after hemispherectomy and vision outcomes after resections. Speakers will discuss how these research questions grew out of real family concerns, what the studies aimed to better understand, and what has been learned so far. Attendees will gain insight into how family-driven research can help answer practical questions about recovery, long-term function, and life after epilepsy surgery.
