What is the most common problem that may affect a child with epilepsy?

Approximately 50 percent of children with epilepsy have some form of learning difficulty. The functions most often influenced by epilepsy are speech and language, attention, memory, and executive functioning. Anticonvulsant medications can sometimes affect cognitive function but are generally very well tolerated.
