My son is in Kindergarten. He also suffers from focal seizures. Basically it's seziures in one part of the body.
Anyway he did well across the board except for fine motor skills. We're thinking that this may be because of the seizures. He has them often but they don't show any physical signs. This might be hampering his development somewhat. So we collected some of his work and we are taking it to his Neurologist. Honestly I don't like or trust his Neurologist and I am looking for another type of professional to help with this problem. Not sure where to turn. His Neurologistjust wants to keep medicating him and I'm not sure thats the answer. He does need the medication to control the seizures but there has to be another answer.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
As a side note we work with him on this quite a bit. It's not for a lack of trying.
