Developmental Delay and tort and plagio

[Guest guest]

Lets be clear, the tort can be caused by low tone, not the other way around. Plagio is caused, at times by tort, but the two do not always go hand in hand.

I think that 90% of the children that I treat for Tort have a developmental delay of some sort. I find it rare to find tort in a vacuum and not associated with low tone or GERD.

The back to sleep program has caused significant delays in skills as compared to the belly sleeping population of long ago against whom the present standardized tests were standardized. Babies need 90 min of belly time, awake, per day by latest research. Do not use walkers and jumpers and saucers to excess as then your baby will not want to get down, face down, on the floor after that......would you?

When working with tort I am always assessing developmental skills and working on them as well.

I wouldn't personally consider GERD a developmental delay, it is more of a medical issue with the babies intestinal areas. When people think developmental delays they are not thinking along the lines of reflux, this is a medical concern like someone who breaks a leg or has heart disease. Developmental Delays are ones that are seen when a child is not hitting milestones or progressing in areas. Kids with GERD or reflux can't really do much about it except watch what they eat and take zantac. If there is PT for GERD let me know and sign me up! I am a sufferer! Tammy

,

My daughter had tort which caused her to develop plagio and brachycephaly. It was hard for us to put her on her tummy because she would regurgitate everything she ate even hours prior. She is now 8 months old. Her tort is resolved (or barely barely shows) and has learned (finally) how to roll over to her back when put on her tummy. This said, now that she's figured it out, she doesn't stay on her tummy for more than 5 seconds. She rolls right back. What do you do in such a case?

Thanks,

Leila
