Epilepsy Foundation of Delaware (EFDE) was formed by members of the Easter Seals Society—physicians, parents, and others—directly concerned with the problems of epilepsy. After a number of years of informal meetings and activities, the Association was incorporated in 1964.  The Foundation continues to be the only organization in the state established to address the non-medical needs of people with epilepsy/seizure disorders and their families. 

​

With office in New Castle County, we offer nationally recognized programs and services to residents in all 3 counties throughout Delaware and we work to ensure an improved quality of life for those who face the challenges presented by epilepsy or seizure disorders.
