He cant support his head sit up or reach for toys etc doesnt look at you face to face as he doesnt know how to fix and focus due to the seizures this is why all this hasnt developt!

Mum,
I saw you in the chat and thought maybe I could help. I am still doing some research for you, but I did find one site that has information on epilepsy in children. It has some recommendations of how to handle small children with these problems to assist with development. I hope it might help. I will keep looking for you.
best regards, britt (sadfacedb)
