In-Classroom Training - A 30-minute interactional session meant to reduce the stigma of epilepsy and promote acceptance on school campuses. When staff is knowledgeable about epilepsy and can respond appropriately to a student having a seizure, the uncertainty and fear common among other students in the classroom can be reduced. This quick interaction will address simple epilepsy definitions as well as BUST common myths in order to reduce stigma and promote support through education. A book reading can be provided for younger audiences.
