Seizures & You: Take Charge of the Storm Jr. (Grades K-5)

Does a child you know have a classmate or friend with epilepsy? Check out this video to help kids understand and recognize seizures, as well as be a friend to someone who lives with seizures. The animation also helps kids understand what it is like for someone to live with epilepsy.
This video was developed for "Seizures & You: Take Charge of the Storm Jr.," an Epilepsy Foundation program for kids in grades K-5. Learn more about this program: www.epilepsy.com/living-epilep....

I just had a seizure today, and my nephew was confused about what happened. He thought I was sick, so I think my sister showed him this video, and he understands it a little better now. Thank you for spreading awareness ❤️ :))

I wish this video existed when I was in elementary school. My seizures started when I was about 4-5yrs old and when I was in the 3rd grade and through the rest of my schooling life until Junior Year I was made fun of for my seizures, missed a lot of school days, and a teacher of mine said I should be taken from regular school and placed in a special class because of them. She thought I was disrupting normal student's schooldays with my seizures and jeopardizing THEIR education.

I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2 and got into surgery when I was 8 removing my Seizure Tumor.
My Mom mentioned she had to get me home because I was having Seizures in Kindergarten.
I flunked Kindergarten because of my Speech Impairment and my poor motor skills.
I had to go to a Special School and because I was behind my age I was considered “Mentally Retarded”
Even though at 12 I went to a normal school I still had to go to a Special Ed classroom and it didn’t help that I kept forgetting my time tables and when my memory goes blank I completely forget how to tie my shoes.
That’s happened quite a few times and it was humiliating that a younger Kid was asked to tie my shoes.

[@rebeccasminiworld1234]

I wish I had a friend to help me through bully’s that made fun of me for having seizures and being different I hope other kids with epilepsy could have a friend to help them through it

[@rebeccasminiworld1234]

I think it is only with certain kinds it wasn't recommended to me I didn't have seizures at school or around my friends but I think that is why I have no friends

Do I have permission to share this video at my church? We also stream the service so It would be broadcasted online as well?

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

Hi Yelena, I have Seizures, too
But there, not like yours, here's
What mine, are like. If I'm having
Having, breakfast at the, table
I'll have, a tapping Seizure. If I'm
Standing up, the dancing Seizure
Comes on, and I'm not happy at all.

[@tugsatercan4240]

Can I broadcast the video in Turkish with a voice over and provided that the source is shown? The broadcasting platform will be the UA-cam channel of our public school serving the mentally handicapped and autistic.

[@janadesloovere991]

I would love to use a part of this video (showing a seizure) to explain the new epilepsy treatment I'm developing for the science figured out project! This allows PhDs to explain their work to the general public. Can I have your approval to use this video material (ofcourse credits will be added!!) Thank you!!

[@Dark_Vekx]

this is from 3 years ago I don't think they are going to reply back
