Encouraging and User-Friendly Book

Children with Seizures is written in simple language, and is written in a way that is encouraging for those suffering from epilepsy and those who are caring for children with epilepsy. I would suggest this for anyone seeking a basic understanding of epilepsy.

children with seizures

This is the first book I have purchased to read about seizures. It is a very basic and informative look at epilepsy and seizure disorders. Some of the terms are confusing, but the book itself is a very easy read. I was looking to understand more about my daughter's disorder (epilepsy) and the medication treatments available to us and also looking for something that would help my daughter's teacher better understand her disorder. The book was helpful in listing all current treatment options. I would recommend this book for someone who is looking for something very basic and as a reference guide.
