I have not worked with children who have epilepsy, but im gonna find out more and get back to u. btw how often does ur daughter have epilepsy Seizures?
Im gonna concentrate on the development delay u mentioned, I have a few questions
1. have u checked out ur Daughters hearing? 1 in 5 children have glue ear which effects their learning becoz they cant hear whats been said to them, so I would definitely get it checked out. Or another way to check a child’s hearing is put a few kidney beans or chick peas in a camera film container go up to the child and shake it behind their ear with out them knowing, and see how quickly they respond.
2.Speach? does she have a speach delay? I dont know if in pakistan u have spech therapists, but agian get it checked out if u can…
- Does she have an understanding? e.g. will she respond to u when u talk to her? e.g. through body language, sounds, face gestures etc…
What my advice to u would be is to observe her and concentrate on what she can do, and what she enjoys to do. And encourage her to learn through play based on her interests, e.g. If u wanted to support her writing, u would observe her and find out what she likes, she might like Cinderella. So get her loads of cinderella pictures to cut out(which will help her to develop her hands and finger skills) get her to stick them down on to paper, make books, cut out cinderella words and letters, use pens and markers etc.
U say ur Daughters development is delayed so what we want to do is think of a way to make is easier for her to understand in small simple steps..
write up a list of things tht she does well, and another list of things u want her to develop, think of ways tht u can develop those skills by making it fun for her. Remember we want children to want to learn, and not to find learning a chore..
