Create Your Own Seizure Action Plan for #SAPAW2021

 From Child Neurology Foundation

It's Seizure Action Plan Awareness Week (February 8th -14th) and if you don't have a seizure action plan in place yet, now is as good a time as any to prepare one!

A Seizure Action Plan (SAP) contains tailored guidelines on how to respond during a seizure, based on a person’s medical history. It includes health and medical information specific to the person and helps others recognize seizures and the appropriate steps to take to keep him or her safe from injury or damage caused by prolonged seizures.

Anyone living with epilepsy needs a seizure action plan – especially those with new-onset epilepsy and those with ongoing frequent seizures who had more than one seizure in the previous year. 
How to create your own Seizure Action Plan:
The Seizure Action Plan (SAP) Coalition, leading this awareness iniatitive, was formed in 2020 by the Dravet Syndrome Foundation, the Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome Foundation, and the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance.
