About of Stephanie Fehr

Stephanie Fehr is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Perth, WA, Australia. She looks after babies, children, and young people who are dealing with nervous system and brain-related health issues. In paediatric neurology, families often need support that is calm, clear, and practical, not just medical words.


Stephanie’s work includes helping children with conditions like CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder, Rett Syndrome, and West Syndrome. These can affect development and may come with seizures. She also treats kids who have absence seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures, as well as other types of seizures. At times, a child might be seen for seizure-related concerns, changes in behaviour, sleep problems, or worries that something just isn’t right.


Because every child’s situation is different, the care is usually built around the child’s needs and the family’s day-to-day life. That means talking through what is happening, what tests might be considered, and what treatment options may help in many cases. For some families, it can be a long journey with ups and downs, and Stephanie focuses on staying steady and organised through it.


Over time, paediatric neurology care can involve more than just seizure control. It may also mean looking at how the child is growing and coping, and working out a plan that fits school routines and home life. Stephanie supports parents and carers with guidance around ongoing symptoms and next steps, so families feel less lost and more informed.
