[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would caution going too far out of your lane. We've had educators do this and create problems. We were told our child seemed to be having seizures by the school OT and then the principal. We met with a neurologist and took our child in for an EEG. After all the stress that this unleashed, we found out that there was nothing wrong/everything was normal. The OT was still not convinced and tried to get us to have an MRI. Our neurologist refused.[/quote] EEGs frequently cannot detect epilepsy unless the person is actively having a seizure or had one within a few hours. I'm surprised you didn't want to do the MRI just to rule out some bad possibilities. [/quote] If you're trying to suggest that an MRI would have shown a tumor or abnormality, that would hardly have resulted in just absence seizures. [/quote]
