epilepsy and speech - what do you do for school??

Sun, 03/02/2008 - 07:40

my daughter's speech is GREATLY affected by her epilepsy (due to where the seizures are taking place in her brain.)  we have gone to ASL with her although she is still in speech once a week.  this has greatly helped her communicate - praise God! 

we are looking toward pre-school years now and are not sure where she fits school wise.  her seizures are not under control and although she uses ASL - she hears and understands things perfectly.

anyone else in this situation?  what have you done school-wise?  we will not be using the computer thing that would "speak" for her.

tia!

  My problem is with they called word block. You know what you want to say but you can't get the word out. Sometimes it just one word or a group. Maybe it was the reason way I was allways I was allways a poor speller in school.
