Dyspraxia Children
These children are clumsy and awkward. They have particular problems with new motor skills and activities. They may have:
• very poor fine motor skills such as handwriting
• very poor gross motor skills such as kicking, catching, or throwing balls
• trouble imitating movements such as “Simon Says”
• trouble with balance, sequences of movements, and bilateral coordination
Dyspraxia Treatment
Sensory integration dysfunction is a neurological problem that affects behavior and learning. Medicine cannot cure the problem, but occupational therapy can address the child’s underlying problems in processing sensations. A good sensory treatment plan may be a major component in treating the child with SID. If a child is suspected of having a sensory integrative disorder, a qualified occupational or physical therapist can conduct an evaluation. Evaluation usually consists of both standardized testing and structured observations of responses to sensory stimulation, posture, balance, coordination, and eye movements. After carefully analyzing test results and other assessment data along with information from other professionals and parents, the therapist will recommend appropriate treatment.
Written Expression Disorder
Written Expression Disorder is a problem in producing writing that do not seem to be linked to a child’s overall intelligence. Individuals with writing disorders typically have problems in several areas of writing, such as sentence structure, punctuation, spelling, or generating ideas and language in written form. Their ability to express concepts in writing may generally be far more limited than their ability to do so in spoken language, or it may be consistent with their oral-language functioning.
In some cases the quality of the writing produced may be the primary difficulty; this might include problems with syntax, word meanings, spelling, grammar, or structure and organization. In other cases, some children have problems with the ability to produce written text fluently and continuously in response to prompts; in this case, the child may be able to produce good writing sometimes, while at other times be unable to respond effectively at all.
Varicose Veins
Varicose Veins is a condition where veins become prominent and enlarged, caused by damage to the valves in the veins. They are usually found in the lower leg, but they can also be present in the groin. The cause is not clear, but factors may include standing for long periods, injury, pregnancy, being overweight and even constipation.
Signs of Varicose Veins
Epilepsy
Seizures during which the individual can have convulsions and fits with spasmodic movements and periods of unconsciousness, caused by electrical disturbances in the brain. Some forms of epilepsy don't lead to visible convulsions but can result in brief absences where there is an episode of loss of awareness but not loss of consciousness.
Symptoms of Epilepsy
- Fits may start with warning symptoms or aura that can include face looking flushed, visual disturbance, headache or acute awareness of smells
- Periods of unconsciousness and fainting
- Spasmodic movements and convulsions
- Clenched jaw
- May bite tongue
- Frothing at the mouth
- Urinary incontinence: the bladder empties due to the seizure
- May fall into coma, although this will usually resolve in a few minutes
- Individual comes round though they may be initially confused and drowsy
Tuberous Sclerosis Disorder
Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) is a disorder that causes benign growths (“tubers”) on several different organs within the body, including the brain, eyes, kidneys, heart, skin, and lungs; it occurs in about one in 6,000 births.
Cause
There is a 50 percent chance that a parent with tuberous sclerosis (TS) will have a child with the disease.
