Epilepsy West Lothian recognise
that people with a learning disability have
a higher prevalence of epilepsy than the general
public. We can support people who have learning
or physical disability into services that they
often find difficult to access. Support can
be given with accessing college, voluntary work,
and work placements.
We also provide assistance with
Disability Living Applications, general benefit
applications.
Within Epilepsy West Lothian
building (Bloom House) we can support people
with independent living skills, e.g. kitchen
skills and safety, independent travel. We also
provide rooms for art and craft activities and
computer skills.
Referrals can be made to this
service through a GP, social worker, Community
Worker, Epilepsy Specialist Nurse, family or
self referral.
