Resource Library
For people with epilepsy and their families, comprehensive information on the disorder is often a valuable,
yet hard-to-find, asset. Living with epilepsy often requires special services to help better understand what
epilepsy is and to learn how to deal with it. EFWCP can provide information beyond what is available in
physician offices and in most cases the public library.
The EFWCP maintains an Epilepsy Resource Library of brochures, books, reference manuals, videos and
professional articles.
The EFWCP’s access to information is also enhanced through a direct computer link to the Epilepsy
Foundation of America Resource Library maintained by their national office in Landover, Maryland.
