Educational and social needs
Last checked 30/05/2008
Most people with epilepsy have a similar level of intelligence and academic ability to people without epilepsy. However, children and young people with epilepsy are more likely to need extra help or support in order to achieve their full potential. Some children and young people with epilepsy have learning difficulties or other special educational needs (SEN). Having a long term medical condition can also have social and psychological effects, so children and young people with epilepsy might need some extra support in these areas.
