Services of the Epilepsy Foundation of Vermont

A. The Epilepsy Foundation provides information, materials, and support services to families affected by epilepsy and their significant others. Each of these services are critical because families need the information and support to make the best decisions in both daily matters and planning for the future.

B. The Epilepsy Foundation provides a number of services to children and teachers at schools through our School Alert Program and our Kids on the Block Puppet Program. We are helping to improve the understanding of epilepsy and increase the chances of early diagnosis, proper first aid for seizures, and reduce fear in the school environment.

C. The Epilepsy Foundation provides support services to employers who have employees dealing with problems related to their seizure disorder.

D. The Epilepsy Foundation provides professional in-service training to a variety of agencies and professionals so as to increase their knowledge to best serve each individual with epilepsy.

E. Our Agency seeks to increase the general public's awareness of epilepsy through the use of radio, television, newspapers and information meetings open to the general public. This is the priority area with the goal of increasing early detection and diagnosis of seizure disorders.

F. The Epilepsy Foundation strives to enhance the quality of life for all individuals who have epilepsy by taking an active role in representing the concerns created by epilepsy in such areas as health care, new advances in treatment, driver's license, employment and education.
