The CDKL5 Connection

The CDKL5 Connection is the official podcast of the International Foundation for CDKL5 Research (IFCR)—a welcoming space where science, care, and community come together. Hosted primarily by Dr. Raj Rajaraman, a clinician, researcher, and long-time partner of the CDKL5 community, the podcast brings together the voices, questions, and experiences that matter most to individuals and families affected by CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder. From conversations with families and caregivers to insights from clinicians, researchers, advocates, and community leaders, each episode is designed to inform, encourage, and help our community feel more connected. Through the recurring Ask Dr. Raj segment, listeners are invited to submit questions and hear thoughtful, accessible perspectives on topics that matter in daily life with CDKL5. You’ll also hear from special guest hosts, expert contributors, and IFCR leadership as they share updates on research, advocacy, family support, educational opportunities, and the progress being made together. Wherever you are in your CDKL5 journey, The CDKL5 Connection is here to help you learn, feel supported, and stay connected.
