[quote=archerovi]Have you found DC schools - public or private - to be accommodating to children with epilepsy? Are certain schools known to be more accommodating than others? My 4-yr-old has occasional seizures and has behavioral side effects from his medication, and I would hope for specific accommodations to each. For his seizures, what I would like is for the school to NOT CALL 911 just because he has a seizure. It's unnecessary and traumatic (not to mention it's expensive). He just needs to be put on a bed in the nurse's office until we arrive within the hour. His medication side effects include short attention span and, when his dosage increases, lack of impulse control and rough play with classmates until his body adapts to his dosage. We are afraid that a private school could expel or "counsel out" our child after a couple of these behavioral side effects of med dosage increases. Can private schools do that? [/quote]
