My daughter (now 1 mo. old) was born with pachygyria, an underdeveloped frontal lobe of her brain. Doctors tell us she’ll have moderate-significant mental retardation, and that she’ll have develop. delays. We are checking into alternative type treatments for her, as we hope to improve upon their predictions. They mentioned that the more we did to stimulate her, the better, and she could POSSIBLY just have mild retardation if we did. We’re pursuing PT/OT as well.
We’re currently taking homeopathic remedies, supplements, and doing stretches with her (though not yoga poses, but we’re checking into that too). We’re also getting Craniosacral therapy through my chiropractor, and we’re seeing some positive results so far. I have bought the book “Yoga for the special child” and it has some great ideas. However, I thought I’d check with you for other ideas. Is there anything you can recommend to me that might help my daughter? I’d greatly appreciate any information you can give me. I want to do ALL I can to help her, and I’m very open to other ideas. THANKS for your time.
Sincerely, G.
PS – S. mentioned Reiki – would that be helpful?
