Our specialists remain at the forefront of research to help us better understand, diagnose, and treat children with neurological disorders. Unfortunately, many disorders go unnoticed until adolescence or early adulthood. The key to effective management and treatment of these disorders therefore depends on appropriate early diagnosis and intervention. We provide specialty supervision in the following pediatric neurological disorders:

• Autism
• Cerebral Palsy and Neurological Development
• Epilepsy
• Headache
• Learning Disorders – ADD and ADHD
• Movement Disorders and Tourette's Syndrome
• Pediatric Sleep

Treatments
Our neurologists and neurosurgeons have pioneered innovative ways to treat pediatric neurological disorders. We offer a comprehensive approach to disease management, including traditional therapies, alternative interventions, and surgical options:

• Innovative medical and alternative therapies for autism spectrum disorders
• The Sutter Neuroscience Institute Epilepsy Program offers diagnostic EEG services, long-term pediatric epilepsy monitoring, and medical and surgical treatment programs
• Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento offers non-invasive treatment for epilepsy, brain tumors, congenital vascular malformations, and movement disorders by aiming 201 precision-aimed beams of energy at carefully-selected areas of the brain
