Sonya shares her family's journey through an epilepsy diagnosis during the COVID-19 pandemic, the hope that came with successfully weaning her son off medication, and the challenges they faced when seizures returned.Drawing from both personal experience and professional expertise, Sonya discusses the vital programs and services available to families through the Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana, the importance of seizure action plans, and why strong advocacy and representation in schools can make a life-changing difference for children with epilepsy.This inspiring conversation highlights resilience, support, and the power of turning lived experience into meaningful service for others.
