[quote=Anonymous]I have a son who has recently been tentatively diagnosed with extremely mild cerebral palsy (he is 5 and can swim independently, walked within normal range, and rides a 2 wheel bike, so it is not an immediate obvious case). We also suspect inattentive adhd. He is mostly low tone but has some areas that are high tone. The most helpful Dr for us has far and away been a pediatric physiatrist (pm&r). Developmental ped just ruled out autism and referred us to other specialists. The best activity has been horseback riding for building core strength. We just had our annual PM&R visit and she referred us to neuropsych, which takes about 6 mos where we are (not in dmv.) she wanted him to have a little kindergarten under his belt. She said she will make her formal diagnosis after his neuropsych and an mri (which we will wait a few years for so he doesn’t need to be sedated) but she said she would give us a dx now if needed for his IEP (we have had no problems in that department though.)[/quote]
