Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 My son has drop attacks. The best thing you can do up front is to get her a helmet to prevent injury. It will also allow her to walk freely without you holding on to her. Try to keep her on soft surfaces, carpet, grass, and away from hard corners. Jake has a helmet with a face bar and it's worked well for us. I know how stressful the drop attacks are, for both the child and the parents. We had Jake fitted for a helmet at the hospital, my neuro wrote a prescription for it and it was covered by insurance. Ask your neuro, or call the helmet manufacturer directly. Make sure you get the face bar as it will prevent facial injury if she's being thrown face first w/ force. Danman Products, Inc.
