Most people have a sense of panic or fear the first time they seen an individual having a seizure.
Students will look to the teacher for a sense of guidance. It is important that the teacher serve as the model in calmly responding to the needs of the student with epilepsy. Other students will attempt to follow this lead. At the beginning of the year, meet with the parent and the student if the student is still having seizures. Plan ahead, prepare for the student's special needs, and understand unusual behaviour in the context of the student's medical condition.
