Seizure Disorder Information

Each individual with a seizure disorder may experience signs, symptoms, and seizure events differently. The following information is intended to help guide faculty responses, in the event that a student has a seizure during class.

• In the event of a seizure in the classroom, your first step should always be to call 911.
• Do not put anything in the student's mouth, as hard objects can cause choking or damage to teeth, and fingers may be injured.
• Place the student on their side so that breathing is easier, but do not try to hold down or restrain the student in any way.
• Move all sharp or hard objects out of the way to avoid injury.
