Epilepsy Education – Our staff and qualified, trained volunteers provide instructional presentations for students of all grade levels and school staff.
- Puppet Shows – For children in preschool through 4th grade. The program features the puppet character, “Brian”, who has epilepsy. The goal of the program is to educate students in an age-appropriate way while focusing on dispelling myths surrounding epilepsy. Students have an opportunity to ask Brian questions about having epilepsy. The program also reviews head injury prevention. Fill out this form for access to our Puppet Show video
