Student Resources
Seizures and epilepsy are one of the most common neurological problems affecting children and youth
As a student with epilepsy, it’s so important to educate others around you on seizure first aid and equip them with resources in the event of a seizure at school. We’ve prepared a presentation guide and additional tools, such as a PowerPoint and letter template you can customize for your child’s teacher. Check out the resources below and prepare to educate your child’s peers about the brain, seizures, and epilepsy.
