Seizures can have a profound impact upon a child’s development and upon the child’s family. They can be subtle and difficult to detect or severe, even life-threatening. In this seminar, Dr. Burris will describe different types of seizures, talk about medications commonly used to control them, explain other treatment options, and answer questions about what to do if a child has a seizure while in your care.
