Which Specialist Should One Consult For Schizencephaly In Children?

Hey, My son is 23 and was born with schizencephaly, his left frontal lobe did not grow. He have seizures, headaches, memory lost sometimes, adhd, poor muscle weakness and intellectual disability. I am finding it hard to find a doctor that understands his disease and know how to treat him. We was doing fine at the children s hospital but, we had to leave to go to adult hospital. I am taking to understand will my son be able to work a full time job and what is life exceptive for him?
