Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi, My dd had tort and it did mess w/her balance. She went to PT for about 4 months, 3 times a week and also received Early Intervention for over a year. She not only had balance issues but she had low tone as well. She turned 4 in July and is now in a Special Education pre school due to her poor speech and she needs PT for her balance and low tone. If you can, get her into see a different PT that deals w/tort babies. The tort side is what's throwing her balance off. I thought that w/all the PT and all the Early Intervention recieved that she was ok. I was wrong, I'm hoping that by the time the school year ends she'll be declassified as special needs and will go into kindergarten as such. You have 9 children?
