Epilepsy Social story

Sometimes, it can be hard to talk about epilepsy. There is fear and misunderstanding about epilepsy and seizures. Not everybody can recognise if they are about to have a seizure, especially very young children.
Talking about epilepsy can help staff and students realize that children with the condition are just like other children and can lead full, active lives. Talking honestly and openly about epilepsy will also help teachers and the students. This social story will raise awareness and immediate support for the individual child at a time of epileptic episode either during play time or lunch time in the playgrounds and away from class teacher.
