DOMinate Epilepsy Law, which was passed in November 2021, was named after a Chester County family who pushed for seizure training in schools, write Stephanie Stahl and Brad Nau for CBS News Philadelphia. 

The Rosini family were honored for their contribution to keeping students safer in classrooms last week. 

Nine-year-old Dominic Rosini has had to deal with seizures since he was three. 

“He went from totally fine to developing six different seizure types, he was having up to a thousand seizures a day seizing every 30 seconds,” said his mother, Jessica Rosini. 

His seizures are now under control thanks to a special diet. Various ailments can cause different kinds of seizures, most of which are not typical convulsions. 

“How little I knew as a former teacher terrifies me,” said Rosini. 

She decided that needed to change, so together with her mother, also a teacher, she pushed for a new law to be passed to train teachers in Pennsylvania on how to recognize and respond to epileptic seizures. 

“So with this law, people can know how to be prepared,” said Zoe Heller, of the Epilepsy Foundation Eastern Pennsylvania.
