Eric’s Corner continues to seek guest speakers for our monthly support group meetings.  It is our goal to assist and inform those with Epilepsy and or a seizure disorder with the most up to date news. We have speakers in the areas of: medical profession, technology sector, local transportation, dietary needs just to name a few.

From time to time we have some of our own support group participants speak and address areas that have helped them and in turn help others in the group.  We encourage your input and if you have any ideas for future speakers or would like to address the group yourself, let us know by e-mailing us here: info@ericscorner.org.

If you are interested in speaking at an Eric’s Corner Support Group we would like to hear from you.  Please send an e-mail to  info@ericscorner.org with Guest Speaker in the subject line.  In the e-mail please including your name, phone number, topic of discussion, and month of availability.  We meet on the third Thursday of every month in Pleasanton.  We will respond to you at our earliest opportunity.
