Neuro Nugget Weekly: Feature on Literacy
This week’s focus is on literacy, particularly children’s books written about epilepsy. These stories are powerful tools for fostering understanding and inclusivity among teachers, siblings, friends, classmates, and even the children themselves. I’ve highlighted a few titles that touch on areas I find especially important, each offering unique perspectives and messages.
I’m also excited to share a new initiative: reaching out to libraries, starting locally and then expanding further, to encourage the inclusion of children’s epilepsy literature in their collections. This effort will extend to public libraries, children’s libraries, and school libraries. If you know of libraries that could benefit from receiving donations of epilepsy-related books, please reach out! We’d love to collaborate with you in making this possible.
On an Owen note, I’m thrilled to announce that Owen is back in the groove with books! He loves being read to and fully engages with each page, it’s wonderful to see his passion for reading rekindled.
Thank you, as always, for reading and supporting these efforts. Wishing you a joyful and smooth back-to-school season!
