New Steps Tool
Empower Every Conversation with Your Care Professional
Strong communication with your healthcare provider can make a real difference in epilepsy care — from understanding treatment options to tracking seizures and setting personal goals. A recent national survey highlights that nearly three in four people with epilepsy don’t report all their seizures to their provider, and that many patients and clinicians see things differently when it comes to seizure control and treatment expectations. These communication gaps can affect treatment decisions, safety planning, and overall care outcomes.
S.T.E.P.S. is a discussion guide with five sections covering: Seizures, Treatment, Emotional Impact, Personal Goals, and Safety. You can download the form to help you prepare for appointments, talk about what matters most, engage in shared decision-making, and strengthen the partnership with your care team. Whether you’re navigating treatment changes, talking about seizure impact, or planning for emotional and safety concerns, S.T.E.P.S. gives you practical tools to lead those conversations with confidence.
Use the guide to start better dialogue — because every note shared, every question asked, and every story told brings you closer to care that reflects your goals and experiences.
