There is a disorder called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome where seizures during
sleep literaly strip away the speech and language ability of a child. It is
often called by its initials: LKS. This is not to be taken lightly... go to
a good child neurologist. Sometimes medication will help, though one child
I knew with LKS had to have surgery (always a last resort).

Also go to http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org for more information.
