Epilepsy Smart Schools Program

Epilepsy ACT provides both online and in-house training to Canberra early childhood educators and to school staff.  Education and support programs are conducted in schools providing students with a more enlightened attitude towards epilepsy, and informing teachers of the signs, treatment and management of the many different types of seizures.  We can also assist with producing Epilepsy Management Plans for students at no cost.

Every child’s experience of epilepsy is different and therefore supporting them at school will require an individualised approach. Becoming an Epilepsy Smart School shows that your school has an inclusive learning environment.  It only takes 3 steps to become an Epilepsy Smart School.
