Hi all. Have any of you had an experience of dealing with someone on site who has Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder? A school has contated me regarding a couple of pupils that have NEAD epsiodes and how to control their safety when this happens. Other than treat it like an epileptic episode, are there any other suggestions? Thamks

Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder is very similar to an epileptic attack, except it might last longer. There seems to be a different underlying cause but the event itself is the same as an epileptic attack and the risk and so the controls should be the same.
