Epilepsy Basics: Diagnosis, Support, and School Services


Published: Jan. 7, 2026Updated: Jan. 21, 2026

What should families know when their child is diagnosed with epilepsy? In this Undivided Conversation, we cover the basics — what epilepsy is, how it's diagnosed, and what it can look like in day-to-day life. We also dive into how epilepsy may affect learning, behavior, and access to school services like IEPs or 504 plans.

To learn more about Epilepsy, check out our Epilepsy 101 and Supporting a Child with Epilepsy at Home, at School, and in the Community articles.
