Dear Parents,
As a parent of a young lady with special needs including epilepsy, I truly know what it’s like to battle this sometimes-frightening disease. Because the treatment of epilepsy often presents children and families with numerous challenges, we have compiled a resource list to help you navigate the confusing system of services.
As part of this list, we have included state, regional, and national resources. For children who are
diagnosed with epilepsy, there are educational, financial, and support services that many families may be unaware of. We hope this packet will assist you in finding the resources you need to make life easier for you and your child with special needs.
Should you have specific questions about the packet, please feel free to contact me. I can be reached at the number below and my email contact is also listed for your convenience.
Sincerely,
Carrie Cobun, BA Parent Educator
