Back to School: Are you seizure prepared?

Are you Seizure Prepared for the new school year? We have the information you need to help you get ready. Our Back to School webinar is geared to families with kids in grammar and high school. 

Off to College: Send us your questions  

What should I tell my roommate about my epilepsy? Is it necessary to disclose my diagnosis to my professors? Going to college as a student with epilepsy can come with a lot of questions. Our College Social Media Takeover Day on September 4th will provide answers to all your college related questions from board certified neurologist, Dr. Nicole Hartmann.

Email us your questions and look for the answers on September 4th!

Special Education Advocacy

Is your child getting all of the support they need at school? We can help you understand the rights of children with epilepsy in school and assist with special education services like Seizure Action Plans, 504 Plans and Individualized Education Plans. Several of our member organizations provide customized support for families who need it.  

 Applications for the 2025-2026 School Year will be available in January, 2025.  

Review our Back to School Checklist and make sure you are taking the right steps to be Seizure Prepared this school year.
