How schools should treat children with epilepsy

The prevalence of epilepsy in children is around 5 per 1,000. The awareness and acceptance of the school as a place of education and the treatment of children with epilepsy determines the child’s subsequent physical and mental health and level of education. Schools should respectfully accept such a special group, which should be intellectually and athletically free of too many problems, or they should be educated in special schools. Specifically: 1. Schools should treat children with basically normal intelligence and motor skills in a tolerant and fair manner, and provide them with a good platform and opportunity for learning and social interaction; 2. Schools should be aware of the child’s condition and his current treatment plan, have a regular assessment and understanding of the effects of his treatment, and actively communicate with parents; 3. During the school year, children should be prevented from participating in activities that are likely to cause injuries, such as falling from a height, climbing, high altitude, swimming, etc.; 4. As teachers in the school and classroom, they should be familiar with and understand the necessary first aid measures for seizures, including body position swing and 120 first aid.
