[Knowledge and attitude of professors concerning epilepsy. Evaluation of a survey conducted on 4,099 professors of Cantabria].
Thanks to a survey sent the 4,099 teachers of Cantabria, we value their knowledge and attitudes about the epileptic child. After analyses the 1,283 surveys were sent back (31.3%), 28% of teachers had had an epileptic pupil, although the 89% never had received specialized information about epilepsy, whose etiology was unknown by 30%. A quarter thinks necessary special school or complementary help for the schoolhood of these children, and the 23% thinks the epileptic child is less intelligent than his fellows.
