A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. A purposive sample composed of 163 teachers from 13 intellectual schools working at least two years. Three tools were used: Tool (I): A self-administered questionnaire consisting of two parts: Part (A) was used to collect data pertaining to socio-demographic characteristics of the teachers. Part (B) involved questions regarding teacher's knowledge about epilepsy. Tool (II): An observational checklist to evaluate teacher's practices regarding management students with epilepsy.
