Summary

This study tests a web-based program called Epilepsy Journey, which includes online modules and telehealth sessions with a therapist, to help teens with epilepsy improve their executive functioning skills like planning, organization, and emotional control. 310 teens aged 13-17 will be randomly assigned to different combinations of the program or usual care. The goal is to see which parts of the program are most effective at boosting thinking skills and quality of life over 66 weeks.
