When Declan was 18 months old, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. At three, and then at six, he underwent brain surgery in order to stop the seizures. Now seizure-free, his journey has been a remarkable one. Through my perspective as a mother, teacher, and inclusion consultant to schools, I will share moments when, as we worked to teach our son, he taught us.
The name "Awesome Guy" comes from one of those moments. To read about it, click here.

Whoa, Jen this is so cool! I was hoping you were going to post a blog, so people can see your writing talents and at the same time understand what it's like to live with someone with epilepsy. I think it's really great that you created this blog, so congrats!
PS. I love Tova's post about NYU! I thought it was really sweet and cute.

Your writing talents are amazing. Am choking back tears about the valentines's story. How beautiful she wanted/s to connect with him on the most real level and not a superficial one

Dear Jennifer,
I really appreciate your collection of resources on the Awesome Guy website.
I became interested in online epilepsy resources after I was assigned a research project looking at online resources for epilepsy and other disorders. In the course of doing my research, I came across this great article: http://www.guidetohealthcareschools.com/library/epilepsy that covers a broad range of epilepsy resources. After looking at your site during the course of my research, I thought you might find it helpful as well.
I know this article would be a great addition to your information, and I'm sure that it could help many of your users. Let me know what you think!
Best Wishes,
Lauren
