Guest guest Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 My insurance did not cover the QEEG. Of course we got the analysis and then it was suggested that my son begin the brain therapy twice a week, but at 120 dollars a week (60 a session, we could NOT afford, AND he doc said it could take anywhere from 20-60 sessions......YIKES! We are still making payments on the Q! Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® [ ] Re: school trouble Dear our daughter had a Q EEG done a few weeks ago, & it showed that she had " suspected calcification of white matter " , so she is now doing an MRI & CT scan to explore that, & will start the neuro-feedback as a part of her brain rehab next week - I'll let you know how it goes. The neuro-psych was actually really great at showing her on the screen where her problems were - she thought it was really cool that she could see what her brain was doing. As far as accommodations go - we've just asked the dept of education here in Canberra to provide our daughter with someone to push her & her wheelchair to/from/between classes (it's not cool when you are 16 to have your mum come into the school and push you around). If your daughter doesn't need that, then maybe she can have someone carry her books etc. The other thing that has been vital for us is flexible assessment - if she is too sick to do a presentation or test, can she do a paper, or blog, or power point presentation etc. The teacher also emails her all the work that she misses when she is in hospital or too sick to go to school. I hope that helps - I'm sure that other people have lots of other ideas.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 yeah so happy the meeting went well I do not know what a QEEG is but sounds very very expensive........I would not be able to afford it either - treatment alone is more then we can afford  bless you Diane ________________________________ From: " tweetyrja@...
