What I Need In School WINS 2023
Children with epilepsy are at a greater risk of learning and behavioural difficulties than children without epilepsy. Despite this, there is a lack of research exploring the views and experiences of young people with epilepsy, their parents and school staff with regards to educational supports that could aid learning in children with the condition.

The SEEN Study 2017
The purpose of the SEEN study was to document, on a population basis, the development and behaviour of young children with epilepsy. The study also focused on emotional wellbeing, sleep and fatigue in their parents. A comparison group of children with neurodisability were included; these children did not have epilepsy but had other neurological or neurodevelopmental problems. This comparison allowed us to study whether having a child with epilepsy, specifically, has an impact on parental functioning.
