Hey guys,
Thanks for stopping in. I need your help. I am a teachers aide in a 7th special ed classroom. I had a seizure at work yesterday shortly before the end of school. I stayed home today, but have spoken with administrators, the nurse, and my classroom teacher. A few of the kids stayed home today because they were upset about what happened, which is completely understandable, I cant imagine how scary it is to see in real life.
Anywhoo, I am curious as to how you have spoken with your kids about your disorder? Have any of you ever had a seizure while at work? How did you handle the discussion after wards? Especially with little kids, or kids with emotional issues.
Are there any good books I could buy to add to my class library that can help kids understand what a seizure is?
I plan on being completely open and honest with my kids when we get back to school Tuesday. They have already had talks with the nurse, and the classroom teacher, but I know it will benefit some of them to talk to me personally. I am going to make sure each of them have my email at school, so they can email me any questions they might be too uncomfortable to ask in person, or in front of their classmates.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amanda
