ResumoA epilepsia é um distúrbio crónico caracterizado pela presença de crises recorrentes, resultantes de descarga excessiva dos neurónios. Salienta-se a dialética entre epilepsia, família e a escola, partindo do estudo comparativo de cinco casos. Os resultados indicam que as crianças/adolescentes epiléticos denotam predisposição para problemas nas tarefas de aprendizagem e insucesso escolar; autonomia/ajuste satisfatório nas rotinas diárias; limitações nas relações sociais. O envolvimento parental assume total importância. Existe antagonismo: os pais revelam preocupação e procuram assegurar a toma da medicação; mas, desvalorizam a prevenção da ocorrência das crises. A Escola responsabiliza-se por estruturar, implementar e avaliar as respostas educativas. Palavras-chave: epilepsia, envolvimento parental, escola, desenvolvimento psicossocial. AbstractEpilepsy is a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent crises resulting from excessive discharge of neurons. Focus is on the dialectic between epilepsy, family and school, based on the comparative study of five cases. The results allow us to conclude that epileptics children/adolescents have predisposition to problems with the tasks of learning and school failure; satisfactory autonomy/adjustment in daily routines; limitations in social relations. It is crucial parental involvement. There is an antagonism: parents show concern and seek to ensure taking medication; but devalue the prevention of the occurrence of seizures. School assumes responsibility to organize, implement and evaluate educational responses.
