[quote=Anonymous]OP, here. Thanks for all of the great replies.

Baby is stellar at tracking objects and eye contact. She also grabs things at midline so I know she can see them in front of her. But once she has the object she moves it to her side. However, I won't put off getting her vision checked.

I am on hold scheduling a vision exam now. Thank you for the referrals!

My baby has been in EI since the first month. The PT and pediatrician have said ruled out torticollis and she has good posture.

She saw her pediatrician and developmental pediatrician last week. The developmental pediatrician felt that she might have a neurological issue because of weakness and trouble with right arm.

We saw the neurologist this morning and he is ordering an MRI of the brain to find out what is causing the weakness and difficulty using the right arm. (Both legs are fine.)

I asked him a few times why she was moving things to the right or left to look at them. He observed her doing it himself. However, he continued to ask me questions instead and seemed much more concerned with the lack of strength and mobility in the right arm. I guess he cannot say yet and can tell me more after the MRI.
