Description

Epilepsy is the most common serious brain disorder in the world today

The Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria is Victoria’s major consumer support agency for all people affected by epilepsy.
We estimate that 10% of Victorians will have a seizure during their lifetime, between 3 – 5% will develop epilepsy, approximately 140,000 people. Of these 12.5% will be children under the age of 14. Many of these will be under the age of five with nearly 800 children being newly diagnosed each year.
We can provide a range of support services for teachers, children and all of the Kindergarten community. Sometimes it may involve talking through the situation with one of our counsellors or special education sessions for staff, students and parents. We have available a wide range of resources to supplement the work we will do with you, including videos, information sheets and epilepsy management plans for individual children.
