The PEPE project: Trialling a German epilepsy education programme for english use

Katrina Kushinga Assistant Director - Learning Disabilities, National Society for Epilepsy

Katrina Kushinga describes how service users were involved in developing a multi-media programme designed to inform and support those with learning disabilities and epilepsy

PEPE, a Psycho-Educative Programme about Epilepsy, was designed at the Bethel Institute in Germany to give information and support to people with learning disability who also have epilepsy. It is the first programme of its kind developed for this target group and has been positively evaluated in Germany (Huber and Seidal 2001).
