Helmet for 19 year male w/ seizures

Thu, 06/28/2012 - 11:24
I am looking for a hard-shell helmet for my 19-year old son who has drop-out seizures. I have tried many helmets, however he is able to take them all off with ease. It needs to protect his head 360 that has a chin protector. Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

RehabMart has a good selection of protective helmets. http://www.rehabmart.com/category/Special_Needs_Protective_Childrens_Helmets.htm AbleData even has protective helmets with face guards. http://www.abledata.com/abledata.cfm?pageid=19327&top=12015 Good luck!
