Colleges that work with sz???
Wed, 10/15/2008 - 17:35Topic: Teen Zone
Do any of you teens know of any colleges that are willing to work with students who have tonic-clonic sz? My 19 yo daughter would like to attend college away from home, but she's had nighttime tonic-clonics for three years. The sz are hard. She would need considerable support because she stops breathing, vomits while unconscious and sometimes tries to walk while still fairly incoherent. IDEAS, PLEEZE! Thank you!
