Epilepsy

Epilepsy Action Australia

Epilepsy Action Australia is an organisation which is designed for people who require information regarding Epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition which affects the brain where there is abnormal electrical activity which causes the person to have seizures. 70% of people who suffer from epilepsy while taking medication can control their seizures and thus live a healthy life. However, Epilepsy can have an effect on learning and this is something that is misunderstood by many people. Teachers need to be aware of the effects of Epilepsy on the learning. Teachers also need to understand what to do in the situation when one of their students has an Epileptic fit or seizure.

The website explains all this information in a clear and understanding way for teachers to make sense of. The website provides teachers with a great resource for gathering information about the effects of epilepsy on learning, what to do if a student has a seizure, how they can raise awareness for epilepsy in their schools with purple day and much more helpful information. Epilepsy Action Australia can also be contacted for more information regarding epilepsy and what can be done to increase the awareness and understanding of epilepsy.

The Epilepsy Action Australia is a great resource for teachers and students to gain knowledge about Epilepsy and its effects. I have personally used this website for an assignment in Education Foundation and found it most useful in gathering information but also redirecting to me where I might be able to find more information regarding the effects of Epilepsy on life.
