My wife has epilepsy, so I'll lay down the proper procedure for helping with seizures.
First, don't put anything near the mouth. Try swallowing your tongue right now and realize that it's impossible. It doesn't happen.
Second, move any objects that could be potentially hazardous. Desks, chairs, tables, or anything within range of a kick should be moved.
Third, beyond protecting them from the corner of a wall or something similar, don't touch them. I made the mistake of trying to reposition my wife during a seizure and her little self came at me harder than any man ever has. Somehow, a strength is mustered up and can be released violently.
It isn't always necessary to call 911, but if you don't have any other way of dealing with it, go ahead and call.
