Abstract
Recurrent seizures affect 500,000 U.S. children and adolescents. The majority are in regular school settings and may present various challenges to schools' multidisciplinary approach to student education. Recognizing possible seizure disorders, medication side-effects, and behavioral and cognitive effects of seizures and their treatment are important skills for school psychologists and other professionals. A knowledgeable school professional will serve a critical role in integrating students with epilepsy into the school's academic and social environment and creating useful lines of communication with the family, teachers, and numerous professionals involved.
