Description: As summer gets under way, many people are heading to amusement parks seeking fun and thrills. Yet for parents of children with epilepsy, venturing to amusement parks requires more than just having fun – it also calls for careful planning. Dr. Janice Buelow, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Indiana University, believes parents need to think about what their child with epilepsy may experience at the amusement park. Buelow also contends that the safety of a child in an amusement park setting depends a lot on how well-controlled their seizures are as well as how skillfully a parent problem solves before going to the amusement park.
