Had my DS4’s first paediatrician appointment today - GP referred him as I’m worried he’s delayed developmentally, especially his mobility.
He didn’t walk until 18 months, still uses a pram as he gets tired easily, finds stairs difficult, can’t hop or jump properly and can’t stand on one leg. He can’t keep up with peers in his class, play football and generally has the gait of a 2 year old if that makes sense.
He also has sight and potentially hearing problems and a speech delay aswell as chronic constipation.
paediatrician checked his legs and arms, spend quite a while doing his reflexes in his legs, noticed he still got up from sitting down by using his hands on the floor. She referred to physio and wants genetic testing and will see her again in 6 months but hasn’t really said what she’s looking for?
