Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is believed to help the artist resolve problems, increase self awareness, express feelings and manage behavior. Art therapy is also believed to reduce stress, which can consequently lower seizure frequency in children and adults with epilepsy disorders.

Vincent van Gogh, Lewis Carroll, and Michelangelo were some famous artists who lived with epilepsy. It is believed that their disabilities may have played a role in their creative process.

The LGS Foundation has developed a custom art therapy workbook for LGS patients. Also included with the workbook are numerous art supplies. If you know someone who may be interested in receiving this book, please fill in the contact form below.
