toddlers with speech delays?
Wed, 06/25/2008 - 02:03I'm just curious how many epileptic toddlers out there have a speech delay.
Owen will be 2 in a couple of weeks. He's been on Keppra for about a month. He says MAYBE
10-12 words. Most of them sound like Ba. He's in speech therapy and has been since January, with some progress.
I wonder if there may be some connection...
