How To Treat The Condition Of Severe Learning Disabilities?
I am the teacher of a 9 year old girl with severe learning disabilities. She wets the bed nightly and has frequent, sudden urinary accidents at school. There are times when she stares into space, refuses to respond to verbal directions, can't follow along when someone else is reading and is very slow to process information. I am concerned that she may be having undiagnosed petit mal seizures. Can these be causing her urinary problems?

Any seizure can be asssociated with passing urine. Lapse of attention for few seconds can be an absence seizure.
Learning disability has to assessed in details. At times they are associated with adjustment problems at school, emotional difficulties in child, anxiety and depression, parenting issues and all. In such conditions improvement is possible. But if learning disability is a result of a developmental anomaly then its less likely to improve
