Epilepsy, an unseen disability, affects people in different ways. It is not just the epilepsy per se that impacts a person but also the side effects medication and the impact on life style. Please work through the following presentation which is designed to give you an idea of the types of epilepsy and the impact for students. Thank you to Young Epilepsy for some of the materials used in these slides. They have an excellent website where you can find further information.
