As the father of a child with epilepsy, it has been gratifying that the Epilpesy Foundation of CT is available to help families like ours. Their focus on educating and supporting families, schools and the general public with real-world services and resources is extremely helpful. While all families who have a member with epilepsy wish for some sort of "cure", the Epilepsy Foundation of CT helps us to cope until such a day arrives.
