Managing Students with Seizures

"Managing Students with Seizures" is a 3.5 hour training specifically designed for school nurses.

Some of the topics to be covered include:

The impact of seizures on learning and behavior.

Current treatment options and their side effects.

Simple strategies for creating a more positive and supportive environment.

We have held three school nurse trainings in 2007. These included a training for the Independence, Missouri, school district, a post session offering at the Kansas School Nurse Conference in Wichita and a general session held in early August at Children's Mercy Hospital.

The next date for the school nursing program wil be August 6, 2009 from
12:30p.m. to 4p.m. It will be located at
The Epilepsy Foundation
6700 Troost Suite 316 Kansas City, MO 64131

Hope to see you there!
