My 15yr old daughter has epilepsy but controlled by medication. She now also has NES but they only occur at school.

If you have a child with this, what support do you get from their school.

thanks in anticipation of your reply

    Support should be based on your child's individual needs @Lisand70. Is there anything, in particular, about the school which triggers the seizures or your daughter struggles with in school before/during/after a seizure? We are here for you if you would like to talk this through further with us  :)

    We as yet haven’t found the triggers, we are trying moving her this week to different classrooms to see if this changes anything. Will let you know how we get on

    Are the school supporting you with this @Lisand70? Hopefully, there will be a more settling classroom  :)

    Just to clarify @johndtay, statements were replaced with education, health and care plans (EHCPs). Though I thank you for trying to help  :)
