My daughter's starting school in the fall, and I'm gathering resources that I can pass along to her teacher and the other school staff.

Somebody suggested that I give them a guide to first aid for children with epilepsy. Basically, what they should do if she has a seizure. 

This is a great idea. What have you done to let your child's teacher know how to respond? Is there a good guide on the Internet that I can print out and pass along?

I found this one at the Epilepsy Foundation's website. I don't know what kind of seizures your daughter has, but, if you look on the right side menu, you'll see that there are specific guides for convulsive and non-convulsive seizures.

Hope this helps!
