Epilepsy is significantly more common in people with intellectual disability than in the general population, yet its diagnosis and management in this group are often complicated by communication difficulties, atypical presentations, and a higher risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). People with epilepsy and intellectual disability also frequently have coexisting physical, psychiatric, and behavioral needs that demand a coordinated, person-centered approach to care. 'Fast Facts: Epilepsy and Intellectual Disability' offers clinicians a practical, evidence-based guide to recognizing, investigating, and treating epilepsy in this often-overlooked population, equipping the multidisciplinary team with the knowledge and confidence to improve outcomes and reduce risk for some of their most vulnerable patients.
