In this blog, my guest Tina Coope, Education Executive of PANS PANDAS UK, informs us of a little known, but devastating medical condition called PANS (Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). Sometimes mistaken for dyslexia, PANS and PANDAS impact executive function and writing. This little known but devastating condition can be supported once identified, and this article seeks to inform educators of the important signs to look for.
