When I was in the school for kids with aphasia, I was ages at 9 thr. 14, they didn't use sign language. There were about 7 kids with one teacher and one aid. When my auditory processing didn't improve enough the teacher recommended that I needed sign language so I went to public high school with a hearing impaired program. That was when I started to learn sign language. The program for kids with aphasia helps me get my speech back again.
How is your son doing? I was on ACTH for one and a half years, from my ages at 7 1/2 to 9. It is help me stop my seizures. I never had a seizure since age 9. Now, I am 23. I hope your son doing better.

My son is 7. He was diagnosed with LKS 3 years ago. He has done
great up until about a month ago. He has started having problems
with receptive language again and I'm concerned about school.
Katie,
Did you have an aid in the classroom, did you use sign language? Any
info on your school experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
