Reading comprehension in pediatric focal epilepsy
Research shows that children with epilepsy experience cognitive deficits that are often correlated with seizure type and localization/lateralization of seizure focus. Additionally, research into academic achievement of children with epilepsy indicates that learning disabilities are the norm in this …
