I'm very sorry to hear of your child's trauma. I too have a child who was diagnosed with PTSD. I assume this was a diagnosis made by some type of professional? I will note that the person who made my child's diagnosis was not the person who was capable of properly treating the trauma. Finding a therapist or psychologist who specializes in trauma is key. They should be able to not only treat your child's episodes of PTSD, but also point you to the research and suggest the accommodations you are looking for.

I will echo Portia's comment and add that EMDR, MNRI and Tapping have shown some benefit to people I know who have suffered trauma, myself included. Anecdotal, I know, but perhaps worth mentioning.

I know our circumstances are probably very different, but please feel free to PM if you think it may be helpful. Best of luck to you and your child.
