Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat happens when you remove the biggest triggers from a child’s day and the seizures stop? We sit down with Paige Carter to unpack a remarkable shift since Oakland left school, the role stress and heat play in absence and atonic seizures, and why the family is cautiously considering CBD oil after exhausting conventional options. From risperidone’s early wins and later costs, to stimulants that sparked agitation, to a thick, red seizure medicine that collided with PDA-driven demand avoidance, this is a grounded look at tailoring care to a child’s nervous system.We get practical about legal access, quality control, and avoiding THC in paediatric use, and talk through gentle dosing tactics that respect autonomy—tiny drops on bread, full transparency, and slow titration under specialist oversight. Paige shares why a psychiatrist may join the team alongside neurology and paediatrics, and how cause–effect thinking helps Oakland link heat, stress, and seizure risk to asking for support when he needs it. With summer on the way and a year on the road ahead, the family is planning for flexible care while keeping anxiety low and trust high.inclusiveoak.com.au danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services
