Seizures In Education Essay

1727 Words7 Pages

Seizures are becoming more common within classrooms. There are six different types of seizures that have their own effects on a person. Some seizures involve short periods of the student being unresponsive, and others are more intense and involve compulsion. The type of seizure that may occur one day is unknown to the person. Students with epilepsy or any other disability that causes seizures are unaware the seizure may occur, or when it will occur. Seizure related issues could impact a child’s life at home and at school.

The teacher and myself were extremely unaware if the child was having an absence seizure, or if she was ignoring us because she did not get her way. The seizure continued for few minutes before we were able to determine that it was a seizure. This time gap could’ve been decreased if we were knowledgeable about the signs of an absence seizure. After realizing she was having a seizure, my teacher quickly called the principal, who came to the classroom and determined that it was time to call the hospital. This child was still staring black and was not moving any parts of her body. The child was then rushed to the hospital. A few weeks after this incident, she was taken out of the school by her mother and was to be homeschooled. In the future, I think it is crucial to understand your students, and understand the disabilities that they each posses. If a student has absence seizers, it is important to research information about them, and be very knowledgeable on them. By having knowledge of this form of seizure, the teacher could’ve been able to recognize signs and symptoms of the seizure. Along with that, the child would not have to suffer through the seizure. I think with more knowledge about absence seizures, this situation could’ve been handled much more

Honestly, this was done primarily to keep her from being disruptive to the other classmates that surrounded her.

I anticipate to witness a vast improvement in her grades once it is in place.

    Moreover, typical absences usually last 9–12 s (Hooge, & De Deyn, 2001). Indeed, mutations of genes coding for GABA A receptors and T-type calcium channels have been linked to AS. More recent studies have found that Glucose transporters might also be linked to AS, however data is limited in this respect and offers further room for exploration. The pathophysiological theories hypothesized to date, have clearly always recognised the contribution of two forebrain structures, the thalamus and the cerebral cortex, and their fundamental roles in the generation of seizures.
