Several of them are medical centers, the technology arm of colleges and universities, or organizations that have beenin existance for a number of years. Others are somewhat new. We have included information on a few of the well established sites.
The Epilepsy Foundation is a national, charitable organization, founded in 1968 as the Epilepsy Foundation of America. The only such organization wholly dedicated to the welfare of people with epilepsy, our mission is simple: to work for children and adults affected by seizures through research, education, advocacy and service.
The Epilepsy and Brain Mapping Program is a comprehensive healthcare center for treating adult and pediatric epilepsy and other neurological disorders with seizures. Our medical and surgical center offers people with epilepsy a multitude of treatment options including medical management of seizures through established anti-epileptic medications and clinical drug trials, ketogenic diet, surgical treatment and cognitive and psychological assessment, counseling and rehabilitation.
The American Epilepsy Society maintains a website full of current trends, research information, and events related to epilepsy awareness and public outreach.
The site Epilepsy in Young Children is intended to support parents and other caregivers of children with epilepsy. The main portion of this site consists of stories of individual children. The information in each of these stories is contributed by the parents (or other caregivers) of these children. Each story includes an email address of these parents, so visitors can get in touch with those parents.
The Epilepsy Education Association, Inc. is a not- for-profit corporation that has been organized in the state of Indiana. As the name implies, they are dedicated to promoting education about epilepsy. Their programs are directed to patients and their families, the general public and to physicians. |
