International Autoimmune Encephalitis Society (IAES)

The International Autoimmune Encephalitis Society, (IAES), is the only Family/Patient-centered organization for people with a diagnosis of Autoimmune Encephalitis. The services we provide are all-inclusive from getting a diagnosis to recovery and the many challenges experienced on that journey. Leading with integrity, the IAES strives to advance services, and education, increase awareness, and advance research for this group of diseases.
IAES has successfully changed the face of the AE community with our gold standard model, established February as AE Awareness Month in 2000, and created the first educational product that acts as an educational and rehabilitation tool, AE Trivia playing cards. IAES runs a Facebook educational support group (open 24/7) and monthly Zoom meetings for caregivers and patients are led by experienced advocates in mentoring, medical, and life coach backgrounds. IAES provides science-based information backed by trusted medical experts in the field of autoimmune neurology and relies on the expertise of our Medical Advisory Board. We are an established 501(c)3 non-profit charity.
