Please log on to the webinar about preparing for back to school this wednesday and check this article out.Talking ab out seizures is hard, but it's easier to do it, than to hide the epilepsy. Practice talking about it with a friend first.. it may make this easier. Accommodations depend on what your needs are.. definitely talk to the clinic about what to do if you have a seizure and use a seizure response form - here is a link to one. If you have memory or other issues that affect learning, talk to a school counselor and see a neuropsychologist for help with accommodations for learning. Extra time on tests may be needed or other types of help. - https://www.epilepsy.com/article/2018/8/epilepsy-strategies-transitioning-college- https://www.epilepsy.com/living-epilepsy/toolbox/seizure-information-forms

All colleges are supposed to have a counselor that assists people that are handicapped. Go to the office and find out who that is and discuss things nd ask questions. They can help with setting up courses and other things
