Our Story

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are a varied group of rare, catastrophic epilepsies. Characteristics of DEEs include seizures, behavioral disturbances, and/or EEG abnormalities that have negative effects on cognition and behavior. DEEs are often progressive and highly resistant to treatment.

What began as a family’s personal quest to understand a devastating diagnosis has evolved into a global initiative — one that brings curated information and resources to families, promotes the advancement of improved care and hosts research efforts to improve the quality of life for all DEEs. 


Decoding Developmental Epilepsies (DDE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the successor to Wishes for Elliott.
