Epilepsy doesn't discriminate. It affects millions of people around the world, regardless of race, religion, size or age. That means that a reasonable proportion of the people affected are school students.
In this episode, we'll be exploring epilepsy in schools and the challenges that students with epilepsy may face, as well as the Epilepsy Smart Schools program and how it can help.
Join us as we discuss common misunderstandings and stigmas around epilepsy, the ways in which the Epilepsy Smart Schools program can help schools create a safe and supportive environment for students with epilepsy, and tips and resources for educators and parents to support students with epilepsy.
If you have a child with epilepsy or are an educator interested in learning more about how to create an inclusive and supportive classroom environment, this episode is essential listening.
