Our panel covers 4 critical stages in human development, neo-natal, infancy, childhood, and adolescence. In this panel we will cover clinical research, education, and developmental research. Beginning with research on the neo-natal period, we will explore the impact of clinical data on understanding conditions like seizures and the development of effective treatments. In infancy we will explore the relationship between sleep and language development, with a focus on memory. In childhood, we explore how social-emotional learning can be used to accommodate children with neurodivergencies by developing behavioral goals. Finally, in adolescence, we will further explore how learning through artistic expression can be adapted to resonate with neurodivergent teenagers.
