Inaugural Seizure Action Plan Awareness Week

Seizure Action Plan Coalition partnering organizations  Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF), the Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Foundation and the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TS Alliance). the launched of the Seizure Action Plan Awareness week to educate people with epilepsy, their caregivers and healthcare professionals about seizure emergency rescue protocols and the importance of personalized seizure action plans.

Nationwide, 470,000 children and teens have been diagnosed with epilepsy, and yet only a shocking 45% of pediatric patients have a seizure action plan.  Only 30% of adults have a seizure emergency action plan, yet 3.5 million Americans have epilepsy. Having a plan in place can save lives.

Seizure Action Plan Awareness Week is February 8-14. We’re helping patients, caregivers and healthcare providers spread awareness about epilepsy and the importance of having an action plan in place. Learn more at SeizureActionPlans.org and joining the conversation with #SAPAW2021
