​Seizure Response Dog Program​
Not only will they become a best friend, but they just might save the life of their owner. Dogs can be trained to alert someone when a seizure is occurring, lay between the floor and the person having a seizure to protect them from injury, get help, and some can even be trained to detect a seizure before it begins and alert someone else or signal their owner to get into a safe position. Learn more…

Transportation
Everyone has a place they need to be at some time – school, work, the grocery, a doctor’s appointment, a social activity and much more. For those with epilepsy, driving may not be an option. For some, the cost of alternative methods of transportation is beyond their financial reach. Learn more…

Seizure Alert Monitors
​
Epilepsy and seizures affect nearly 3 million people in the United States. As common as breast cancer and responsible for as many deaths, epilepsy can be a devastating condition for many individuals and their families. Seizure alert monitors can assist in detecting a seizure is occurring and issue an alert to parents, friends, or caregivers. Learn more…
