The Epilepsy Foundation of Indiana is proud to announce the passing of theSeizure Safe School Act, which makes certain that school personnel, nurses, teachers and volunteers are able to recognize and respond appropriately to a student experiencing a seizure.
There are three components to the legislation:
1. Requiring school personnel to complete a seizure recognition and first-aid response training
2. Mandating that the Seizure Action Plan is made part of the student's file and made available to school personnel and volunteers responsible for the student
3. Ensuring that any FDA-approved medication prescribed by the treating physician is administered to the student living with epilepsy
If you are interested in setting up a school training at your school, please contact aedwards@efa.org.
