This youth program consists of a core training module on seizure recognition and first aid that targets middle and high school students, ages 9 to 18. The program can be completed during a 45 minute class period and can tie directly into school health education classes, social studies classes or biology classes. The course material can also be easily adapted for non-school settings. The goal of the program is to have students achieve an understanding of epilepsy as a medical condition; to identify and learn about different type of seizures; and to learn what to do, and what not to do, when someone is having a seizure. Training includes a power point presentation, an accompanying DVD presentation and an integrated work sheet, quiz and epilepsy fact sheet.
