- Educate
the Educators
This
program is aimed at teaching teachers and healthcare providers
about epilepsy. It is an intensive presentation dealing with the
wide variety of issues that educators may face. It teaches seizure
recognition and first aid, treatments and causes as well as what
to do and how to deal with other students' fears when one of their
peers has a seizure.
A
Fairy Tale About Epilepsy
'A Fairy Tale About Epilepsy' is a puppet show aimed at children
aged 6-9. It tells the story of Draco the Dragon, Homer a young
boy and Saran the Wizard. Draco is a young dragon who has epilepsy,
and whose seizures cause him to breathe fire. The puppets teach
the audience how to respond to seizures, as well as that there
is nothing to fear from someone who has seizures.
"The
'I' of Her Storm"
This play has not, as yet, been staged, but it is aimed at high
school students and deals with problems that are particular
to that age group, such as peer pressure, dating and alcohol
and drugs. It is the story of Mac the lead singer in a pop band
who is having absence seizures. Her friends start treating her
strangely as she begins acting strangely. Ultimately, though,
her friends realise she is still the same person she was before
she began having seizures.
