Hi Pat,

It certainly does sound as though he was having a form of a panic attack.

Reassurance to him is paramount and a visit to his teacher to tell him what had happened is also useful so they are not speculating.. Getting him back into the environment is crucial too with an nderstanding teacher and often a caveat that he can leave the room if he feels it building.

These may help you all ..

Beware of the centre handing out meds without any supportive help . CBT for kids is effective too.
