In honor of Epilepsy Awareness Month, we talk about what epilepsy is, how it impacts our children, families and relationships. On this edition of Take Charge of Your Life, host Eleanor Bobrow speaks with Ellen Baca, Coordinator for the Epilepsy Foundation serving Lehigh, Northampton, Schuylkill, Monroe and Carbon counties, conducting monthly support groups and educational programs for school personnel, Emergency Medical Services, police and human service organizations.
Eleanor also speaks with Adam Cobb, a physical therapist, and the father of a daughter diagnosed with Lennox Gastau (LGS) which is a difficult-to-treat form of childhood-onset epilepsy helping us to understand the choices we have in treatment options.
