Your Child's Brain Podcast
Happy 5th Anniversary!
On this month’s episode of Your Child’s Brain, we mark the fifth anniversary of the podcast. Dr. Ali Fatemi, Kennedy Krieger’s chief medical officer, joins host Dr. Brad Schlaggar to celebrate and reflect on these past five years. More than 95 experts have appeared on the show to share information on a wide variety of topics, including autism, epilepsy, stroke, sickle cell disease, post-cancer recovery, mental health conditions, and more. They’ve talked about education, advocacy, research, and clinical care, and they’ve been joined by patients, students, and families, who have shared their perspectives, too. Tune in to hear this retrospective—and what’s on the horizon in the care and treatment of children with neurodevelopmental conditions.
