What do you all do about Diastat on the bus.

My bus drivers will not administer it, if needed.

All we can have them do in case of a seizure is call 911.

What is your experience at your school?

You would want the bus driver to administer? I think expecting this

of them is too much...911 should be the answer.

Diastat is a great drug for parents who develop a comfort level in dealing with a child's seizures, but I agree with traumaRUs. It just may be too much for a bus driver to be expected to recognize a seizure and feel comfortable sliding down a student's pants in order to administer a drug per rectum.
