Self-management interventions for epilepsy in people with intellectual disabilities: A scoping review

Compared to the general population, people with intellectual disabilities (ID) experience a disproportionate burden of illness, and are affected by twice the number of health issues [1–4]. Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder in people with ID, with a reported prevalence of 22.2%, compared to 0.4% to 1% in the general population [2,5–10]. Epilepsy in people with ID can be more difficult to diagnose, more severe, and more difficult to treat than in the general population of people with epilepsy [11].
