"Emergency brake"
For a doctor, the indication for a more detailed examination will be a discrepancy in the normative terms in which the child should begin to follow the rattle, crawl, sit, stand ... Regression (loss of acquired skills) is another cause for concern. The kid grew up and his parents noticed that he was not playing like his peers? Is it too closed, aggressive or cruel? With all these manifestations, the doctor can state a delay in mental development, which means that it's time to figure out what has led to it, and to find a way to fight the disease.
Catch up and overtake!
What is hidden behind the frightening abbreviation of the DPR? First, these are developmental disorders, which many experts call the autism spectrum disorder. Secondly, genetic mental illness. Third, the lag in the development of large and small motor skills, speech, and difficulty in perception. The list is easy to continue and it will be long enough. But in general, it is clear that with any lag from peers in the kid's card may appear a record ZPR. Previously, this was the reason for prescribing the child fairly heavy medication. Other doctors, on the contrary, insisted that by the age of 12-13 everything will pass. Yes, often passed, but not at all ... Because of the lost time, children who actually had a serious ailment, with age, reached such severity of the disease that it was no longer possible to help them. Now the situation has changed. If the doctor sees a delay, he should understand what has led to it, and find ways that the kid will eventually overtake his peers. Work is necessary in close command pediatrician-neurologist-parents. Sometimes it should include a speech therapist, a child psychiatrist.
Treatment, and not only
What is the cause of the disruption of normal brain development in a child? These are genetic factors, and brain damage due to a transferred illness (for example, severe form of influenza or meningitis), and a number of factors associated with infant development in infancy (irrational use of large doses of antibiotics). The cause of the violations can be and vaccination of a child with neurological problems. In this case, the vaccine can provoke an even greater development of the problem. The lost connection between mother and baby is also provoking PEP. The delay is registered practically at all children's homes. Those of them who got there not directly from the hospital (some time was next to my mother), there is a regression of previously acquired skills. So, if the doctor has found out the child of ZPR, it is necessary to act as follows:
• After diagnosing and determining the cause, which caused development delay, a competent specialist will involve colleagues in cooperation. For example, when instead of a normal speech the child pronounces an abracadabra, it is necessary for the ENT doctor to check his hearing. But mom and she can ask for a referral to a specialist.
• If crumbs are prescribed medications that affect the psyche, be sure to consult another doctor - modern doctors believe that in most cases, a good rehabilitation is enough.
• Find a center that has experience working with children like yours.
• Along with specialists of the center, develop a program for the rehabilitation of the baby. It will be aimed at stimulating the affected mental processes. So, for children with speech disorders there are special classes for the development of fine motor skills.
• Work with the baby according to the developed program under the periodic supervision of the center's methodologists. Believe me, if you start working with your child in time, many problems can be solved on time, and the baby will develop on a par with peers.
