Mrs. Gill's son Robert is in your sixth-grade class. He has been diagnosed with epilepsy, characterized by absence seizures. Typically, Robert's seizures are controlled with medication. However, Mrs. Gill wants to know how you will handle a seizure in the event Robert experiences one while in your class. What steps would you take if Robert had a seizure?
What will be an ideal response?
Stay calm, prevent injury, pay attention to the length of the seizure, make the person comfortable, keep onlookers away, do not hold the person down, do not put anything in their mouth, do not give them water/pills/food until they are fully alert, call 911 if the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, and be sensitive/supportive of the student.
