Puppet Lily and her little dog Lulu

Live with Lily!

Hi! my name is Lily Park and I am a part of an amazing organization called Teaching Awareness through Puppetry, otherwise known as TAP. I am so excited to tell you about something that I have been working on with my friends at Epilepsy Toronto!! It’s called ‘Live with Lily!

Each month we will have a brand new episode of Live with Lily where we’ll do something fun and learn something new together. I’ll invite my friends to join me and we’ll play games, read stories, answer questions, do activities together and more! Also, because I am a person living with epilepsy, we will definitely be talking about that too.

This month, Lily and her friend Fatima get some expert advice on how to go Back to School safely – join in as it will be informative (that means you can learn a lot from it) and fun!

Make sure you tune in to ‘Live with Lily!’ on Epilepsy Toronto’s Facebook page. I’ll be there with my super awesome friends from Epilepsy Toronto, and I hope you will be there too!
You can watch all the episodes of Live with Lily on our Facebook page.

Live with Lily! is a fun and interactive segment that offers information, support, and community for children who are living with or impacted by Epilepsy. If your child would like to be a guest on Live with Lily, please send an email to Christina here to get started!

Executive Functions Workshop

Executive Functions are a skill set located in the brain’s prefrontal cortex that are responsible for numerous self-regulating competencies. These include working memory, planning and organization and sustaining attention. Many people with epilepsy struggle in the workplace with these and other elements. Join us for this workshop which will explore executive funtions and help you learn how issues can be accommodated. 

Register online here.

This workshop is facilitated by the Epilepsy Toronto Employment Services Department and is open to all to attend.
