Introduction: A New Era of Possibility in Neurodisability Treatment In recent years, advances in brain science have shifted how we understand and treat neurodisabilities. Traditionally, many neurological conditions were viewed as static or irreversible. However, modern research now reveals a far more optimistic view, powered by the concept of Neuroplasticity and Hope. Moreover, this evolving […]
When a child is diagnosed with a life-altering condition like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, everything changes—for the child, the parents, and the entire family. This rare genetic disorder not only affects the physical capabilities of those who have it but also challenges the emotional, psychological, and social dynamics within a family. Yet, despite these hardships, many […]
Understanding Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Children Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a rare yet serious genetic disorder that affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord. These neurons are essential for muscle movement and coordination. In children, this condition can significantly impact physical development, muscle strength, and overall mobility. While Spinal Muscular Atrophy can vary in […]
Raising Children With Epilepsy can be emotionally challenging and mentally demanding, but with the right guidance, you can turn confusion into confidence. For many parents, understanding how to manage seizures, medication, school, and emotional well-being is a journey filled with learning curves. However, with patience, planning, and proactive support, families can create a safe, encouraging, […]
Understanding a child’s unique developmental path is key to supporting their health, learning, and emotional well-being. For many families, concerns about behaviour, attention, language, or learning difficulties can arise early, sometimes as early as preschool. In such cases, a comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessment becomes a crucial first step toward clarity and proper support. These evaluations go […]
Understanding the World Through Their Senses Children experience the world in extraordinary ways. Every sound, texture, light, or movement contributes to how they interact, learn, and grow. However, for some children, these sensory experiences may feel overwhelming or underwhelming. This is where the condition known as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) comes into play. Although once […]
In recent years, growing awareness about Apraxia of Speech has led to more questions from concerned parents and caregivers. Understandably, when a child struggles with speaking clearly or consistently, it becomes a source of stress and uncertainty for families. However, advancements in paediatric neurology and speech sciences are shedding new light on this complex condition. […]
Cerebral Palsy, a lifelong neurological disorder, affects movement, muscle tone, and posture. It arises due to abnormal brain development or injury, typically occurring before, during, or shortly after birth. While there’s no cure for this condition, early intervention and a tailored treatment approach can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals living with it. […]
When it comes to neurological conditions affecting children, Dystonia in Children stands out as one of the more complex yet treatable disorders. Often misunderstood, dystonia refers to involuntary muscle contractions that cause repetitive movements or abnormal postures. These symptoms can affect one muscle, a group of muscles, or even the entire body. Importantly, while the […]
Neonatal Stroke is a rare but serious medical condition that affects newborns within the first 28 days of life. While many people do not recognize it as often as adult stroke, it can have lasting consequences on a child’s development. Early diagnosis and treatment play a crucial role in improving outcomes, making awareness of this […]
