    I have had a couple of kids on my caseload where the neurologist says their seizures are psychogenic nonepileptic (or conversion disorder). Neither appear to have a trauma background and they appear to have very supportive families. What are your thoughts of trying ART Typical Day protocol on them?

    I just have the basic training but I would think the seizures are traumatic for kids and so outprocess them with the basic script. Then, the suggestion in the director scene might be that they never had seizures and suggest something fun them to do instead.
