Hello. My niece Sarah, who is 11, was just diagnosed with epilepsy. She had her first seizure 3 weeks ago and has 2 more since then, all 3 of which were in school. I am looking for resources (books, websites, chat rooms, etc.) particularly targeted to pre-adolescents or teens with epilepsy so that she can read some information about how others with this condition have handled the peer aspects (embarrassment, feeling different, etc.) Can anyone help? They live outside of Boston. ALso, if anyone has any suggestions of how I can be of help or give support, I'd love any suggestions. I am looking into fun medic-alert bracelets for her... Thanks so much.
Rebecca
