Children with epilepsy

When a child is diagnosed with epilepsy it can be a worrying and confusing time for the whole family. This booklet doesn€t drown you in facts and figures. Instead it provides a useful overview that will provide a great foundation of understanding as you set out on the journey of living with epilepsy.

The information includes the following:
€ What is epilepsy?
€ Different types of seizures
€ First aid for seizures
€ Diagnosing and treating epilepsy
€ Moving to adult healthcare services
€ Learning and behaviour
€ Unfair treatment and the (UK) law
€ Sources of further help and support

(While this booklet refers to UK law and practice, the general information may be useful to families living anywhere. You can find out more about Epilepsy Action at epilepsy.org.uk)
