[quote=Anonymous]Our child met all the milestones as a baby, sitting up, crawling and walking by 12 months but she did seem somewhat weak in retrospect. She was diagnosed with mild hypotonia around age 2 by a neurologist. She seemed uncoordinated, bumped into things a lot, very active. Diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. She did have a bit of PT which helped with riding a bicycle and other fine and gross motor milestones. Hypotonia is a neurological condition and it's hard to get stronger because it's a signal to the brain that is weak. It takes her much more effort to open and close faucets, open doors, twist things open, etc though she has improved very much. She always wanted to participate in team sports it just doesn't seem to have the stamina. [/quote]
