[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any chance that your child has seizures? Our non-verbal child had hidden seizures only during sleep. We never saw any outward signs. Finally stumbled upon a doc who said he highly suspects seizures in kids with significant language development issues. Although a 1 hr eeg was clean, an overnight eeg revealed significant seizure activity. I wasted a lot of money on SLPs. They just don't seem to know how to help a completely non-verbal kid.[/quote] Not OP but what did you do for seizures? Medication?[/quote] Seizure meds. Currently trialing Lamictal because it supposedly has the best record for inducing speech. It hasn't brought speech yet, but we need to go back in and do another overnight eeg to make sure the seizures are being controlled... We have no way of knowing otherwise because the seizures are happening without any obvious outward signs ( no staring, no convulsions, etc).[/quote]
