The Klingberg Neurodevelopmental Center offers diagnostic evaluations for children showing difficulties in areas of development, attention, learning, and sleep. WVU has additional neurology specialty clinics, including the Attention Deficit Disorder Clinic and the Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinic, Spasticity Clinic, and care for children who have had a stroke.
The WVU Sleep Evaluation Center offers monitoring and a variety of treatments for children with apnea, restlessness, insomnia, parasomnia, and other sleep disorders. We make special accommodations for children. Double beds in our pediatric evaluation rooms allow parents to stay with their children.
The WVU Epilepsy Center provides care for pediatric patients with seizure disorders and offers hope to those who have not been helped through medication. Our team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiologists, neuropsychologists, and other epilepsy experts diagnose and evaluate patients as possible candidates for surgery, which is often an effective option when medications fail.
WVU’s Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, the only one in the state, serves children and adults. WVU Children’s Hospital features specially equipped rooms that are used for continuous video EEG monitoring of patients with epilepsy, sleep disorders and for the characterization of events of various nature in children and adults.
