Thank you for the inquiry. It depends on the child's age and level of involvement. Early intervention is always the best way to prevent any regression and to ensure growth and development especially in the early stages of development. If your child is older make sure the school is aware of the new diagnosis to ensure any necessary services and accommodations are implemented. Depending on the level of involvement OT, PT, and SLP services may be warranted. Some other alternatives are diet changes, Hippotherapy, and holistic medicine including supplements. Please let me know if you are interested in initiating services. I look forward to hearing from you.

Absolutely. OT and PT address motor skills during therapy sessions. Improved motor skills will improve your child's performance and enhance brain function. Thank you for your inquiry. Please let me know if you are interested in setting up services. I look forward to hearing from you.

It would be best to find out the source first. Always check with your son's pediatrician to see if it is allergy based. Perhaps a referral to an ENT may be in order. Are there any allergies in the house that may be contributing such as dust, pets, mold, etc. Medications may assist in decreasing the level of nasal fluids. Perhaps elevating the bed slightly at the head may assist with nasal flow but this all depends on your child's age and level of motor control. Try looking into holistic medicine as another alternative to see how to decrease the amount of nasal flow. Foods may be a trigger such as dairy or wheat allergies that are contributing to increased nasal flow. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in the form of a consultation or direct service. I look forward to hearing from you.

Unfortunately yes. Have you spoken to your sons Pediatrician or asked for a referral to a neurologist? Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in the form of a consultation or direct service. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yes, behavioral therapy can assist you with managing your child's behavior. There are several options for therapy including seeing a BCBA, OT, PT, SLP, and counseling services. Depending on your child's age early intervention services are also recommended. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance through consultation or direct services. I look forward to hearing from you.

In the realms of the pandemic many safety measures have been put into effect. Masking, social distancing, gloves if warranted, and in an effort not to interrupt services most offices are offering Zoom sessions depending of course on the age of the client and service needs. If you have further questions and I did not fully address your question feel free to schedule a consultation or direct service. Most states also have websites that answer many of the public's concerns regarding COVID protocol.

Always refer to your MD that has treated you to ensure you have a medical release to return to work. This is for your safety as well as for the safety of those you work with. Most HR departments will require this but it is always best to check within your department and your immediate supervisor.

It really depends on the source of pain. Pain is always an indication that something isn't right. An appointment with your PC may be the best solution and perhaps a referral to a specialist. Knowing what caused the pain such as an injury would be very important information.
