The paper considers the most important aspects, from the educational point of view, to formulate an appropriate plan for the life for children suffering from epilepsy. Epileptic children must be helped to develop feelings of self-esteem and effectiveness, self-control and creativity, to deal successfully with developmental and adaptation tasks. Is emphasized the importance of acting on the school context and to overcome social prejudices that still exist about the epileptic disease and affect the quality of life of the young patients.
