The brief guide offers information on epilepsy to teachers and other school personnel. Types of seizures are defined (e.g., simple and complex partial seizures, generalized tonic clonic seizures), and management practices in the classroom setting for each type of seizure are described. Signs indicating that a seizure requires immediate medical attention are listed. Specific suggestions for helping other children in the class understand what seizures are and deal with the experience of witnessing a seizure are offered. Other topics addressed in the pamphlet include medication for seizure prevention and the school's involvement in this responsibility, symptoms a teacher might note in a child as yet undiagnosed with epilepsy, academic and behavioral expectations for the epileptic child, avoiding overprotection, and communicating with parents. A list of suggested readings is included. (JW)
