Online Educational Video


The Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance is dedicated to finding a cure for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) while improving the lives of those affected.


Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that causes non-malignant tumors to form in many different organs, primarily in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. The aspects of TSC that most strongly impact quality of life are generally associated with the brain: seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism. However, many people with TSC are living independent, healthy lives and enjoying challenging professions such as doctors, lawyers, educators and researchers.  The incidence and severity of the various aspects of TSC can vary widely between individuals—even between identical twins.

The Objective: 
Explain tuberous sclerosis complex in Spanish, using a Spanish-speaking authority on the subject.  Complete the video in HD as well as in formatting appropriate for the web.

Directives:
Use the Director of Pediatric Neurology at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, Mauricio Delgado, M.D., as the on-camera authority.   Write the script outline for translation.  Shoot video, as needed, to illustrate the patient, family and clinical components of the video.

Production Notes:
Dr. Delgado enabled original video of patients, families and clinical procedures at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.  The hospital also allowed us to tape narration sequences in their public area.

The Media Department of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children shared video and still resources.

The TS Alliance shared images of local TS Alliance Support Groups

A well-known Spanish-speaking actor, Alberto Mayagoitia, contributed his time for the on-camera narration of the video.

The video has been available on the TS Alliance web site since completion.
