Dystonia

(BRYANT, MC)" This disorder is also known as Focal disorder and fits into the category of Dystonia. .
             The doctor said he could give John one of two things for his disability, he can either dampen the neural activity with either tranquilizers or brain surgery (brain surgery was not an option that we would choose). Since it was not a very severe case and John was not suffering any pain from this, we decided that it would be best for him to be given Botox injections as recommended by the doctor. Also he would have to go through physical therapy to help fight the disorder. .
             After the first few months of being on Botox, John started to show signs of the disorder weakening which made us very happy for him. He was able to go to a normal class again with no disruptions. The only time that John does start to get problems is when he is faced in a stressful situation when he would start to twitch his neck but not as much as he normally would. We spoke to the doctor about it and he said that sometimes when he is faced with a stressful situation, it can trigger the disability. The best things for John to do would be to stay active and avoid stressful situations. .
             Now our problem facing John is whether he should be put back into a regular school next year or if he should be put into a special education school for people with the same/similar disorders as him. This has been one of the toughest decisions me and my wife have faced since the original diagnosis for our child. We gave the decision to John but he said that what we think is best for him would be a good choice.
             Since our Medicaid covers for John's physical therapy, we decided to leave him in a regular classroom with all the other children as long as he is still in the same state and is not suffering. We both knew that we would have to go through a lot to have John put in a school for special education. Therefore, if he is doing well now in a regular classroom then it should be no problem for him.
