Intellectual Disabilities

The Intellectual Disability Task Force of the ILAE Psychiatry Commission has compiled some resources on epilepsy that are designed for people with intellectual disability. These are available in a number of languages.

If you have developed resources on epilepsy for people with intellectual disability and would like to share a link on this website, please contact Christine Linehan.
