Developmental Pedia (Thread 2)

[bump]

^I'll answer about dun sa movie house ha. my son who is 3 yrs old cant remain still sa sinehan but pagsa house he can watch w/o complain. di pa siguro ready siya dun lalo na madilim.

The available slot for Dr.Tippy is next year summer pa. My son is under her associate Dr. Pabs Planta. We go to their clinic in Fun Ranch. I forgot the number but I can pm it to you tomorrow if you want. Basically same procedure nila since one & same yun SPED teacher & Dr. Tippy encouraged Dr. Planta to practice here instead in Singapore.

^ sis, sya din yung nrefer sa akin kasi yung sched namin with Dr. Tippy sa April pa next year. Same PF lang din ba sila?

My daughter's pedia told us na ipassess ko muna daughter ko sa Center for Developmental Pediatrics ng Medical City tapos dun daw irerefer sa dev pedia. May idea ba kayo how much screening dun? Sabi naman pedia mgagaling naman daw lahat ng dev pedia sa Medical City pero I want to try Dr Tippy first.

[bump]

Alam ko same lang sis sila ng rate. 3k assessment 2,500 na un next fee.

In my experience hindi lahat ok. Our 1st devped is from Med City too. Her aim for my son is total medication. She overlooked the reco of the reading specialist for speech therapy & ot. One year delayed un son ko. Imagine our disappoinment lalo na he was diagnosed when he was nearly 9yrs old.

Read and ask for feedbacks. Choose 3 specialists para if hindi pwede yun 1st may 2nd & 3rd option ka pa. Good luck sis!

^thanks sis... Sa mga natanungan ko si dr tippy talaga recommend mostly... Naisip ko na hindi magrisk sa iba. Tawag nalang ako sa clinic ni dr tippy lagi to request na masingit daughter ko thanks again sis...

i recommend dr. Mark Reysio-Cruz of Capitol med. super maasikaso kasi siya sa clients nya, actually tumatawag pa siya personally sa intervention team madalas (therapists, teachers, etc) for updates, plans, status, etc. super bait pa.

At first, It was my personal choice to bring my daughter to a dev pedia (Dr. Tippy) but the schedule given to us is April 2013 pa. My daughter's pedia suggested na dalhin muna daughter namin sa Center for Developmental Pediatrics ng Medical City for screening para we can have an initial evaluation.

The screening was about an hour and 30 mins. The parent will fill-out a questionnaire first, then the kid with parents pupunta sa isang room to start the one on one evaluation. The doctor will ask questions (I guess this will depend on the age of the Kid) sa kid about shapes, colors, numbers, objects, parts of the body etc., then will give 2, 3 and 4-step instructions, then meron na ipapakitang different pictures tapos the Dr will tell something about each picture tapos ipapagaya sa kid, meron din spot the difference, test of yung attentiveness and pagiging focused ng kid, then there will be several questions na ask sa kid like age, name, anong gusto nilang gawin etc. After talking to the kid, the Dr will interview the parents and ask about the history of the kid (panu ngbuntis, CS/normal delivery, environment sa house, allergies etc.), family background and childhood experiences of the parents, about yaya and playmates, school experience ng kid, social activities, weekend bonding etc.

The result will be released a week after the screening. You will be informed if you need a regular session with a dev pedia and other therapists.

For me, sulit ang bayad kasi we learned a lot from the session plus the dr will request to talk to the yaya para she can give instructions as well.

sweetcake si dr. mark reysio-cruz i'm not sure lang kung nakabalik na siya. Nag out of the country ata yun kaya ngstop ang pg pa-paappointment sa kanya. Fee is 3,500.. Try calling capitol med and ask for his number.

I took my son kay Dr. Treichler-Borgaily last Thursday and she said that my son is in the autism spectrum pero since sobrang na-baby yung son ko and addicted sa TV, she is giving us the benefit of the doubt. We have 6 weeks to change his environment and at the same time start therapy. My son nga pala is 18 months old.

We have another appointment with a dev pedia from Malolos, Bulacan this coming Monday. His name is Dr. Jack Herrin then sana (fingers crossed!) masingit kami kay Dr. Eusebio on November 6. If that won't work, it's either Dr. Falcotelo or Dr. Mark Reysio-Cruz.

Who would you recommend na mas okay? Dr. Mark or Dr. Falcotelo?


Thanks!

[dulcette]

^ doc mark all the way! hehe. havent worked with dr. falcotelo.
i've had referrals from dr. Herrin and dr. Eusebio before.

really sis? sige nga, at ma try.

[joyfulmommy]

Sis bump, ok ba si doc pablo. I was trying to set an appointment din kasi with dr tippy but the secretary suggested him since mas available sya. Tried to google his name i got almost no feedback.

Since it takes many months before you can get a schedule to see a dev pedia what we did is to call CDC at the Medical City and scheduled for developmental screening it is a pre-evaluation before going to a dev pedia and I learned that if you had the screening at CDC you will be prioritized to get a schedule with the dev pedia with max turn around time of 2months.

There are only 4 dev pedias in TMC luckily we got a sched with Dra. Tippy Tanchangco in less than 2mos then we had the comprehensive evaluation done and we are now undergoing OT sessions.

Hi! Pajoin po. My daughter's situation is somehow same s iba mag 3 1/2 yrs old sya dis month. Almost 1 1/2 years old sya bago naglakad. Before 3 yrs old nagstop n sya ng milk dhil tinatabig nya yung bote kpag sinusubo mo s knya. Ginawa nmin yung chocolate flavor n pedia sure ang binibili para kunwari chuckie. D rin sya kumakain ng rice kung kakain man e lugaw dapat. d sya nsanay kumain ng solid.
Delayed din ang pagsasalita nya pero ngyn may mga nasasabi n rin syang sentences. para rin syang recorder n paulit ulit ang sinasabi. super likot sya n parang lalaki. ang problem p s knya d mo [textspeak!] maawat s pag iyak kpag di naibigay ang gusto. may instance p n s madaling araw bglang nagigising at grabe pagwawala. nagliliyad sya at halos mapaos n kakaiyak at kulay red n ang mukha d pa rin ngstop. ayaw nman magsalita kpag ask mo kung ano gusto.
D sya nkakatulog s gabi kpag [textspeak!] s tabi nya yung favorite stuffed toy nya pati yung mga 3 [textspeak!]-tauhan nya kpag nawala ang isa don iiyak sya.
only child sya at wlang kalarong bata. d sya nkikimingle s mga bata kpag dinadala sya s playroom s mall. ang gusto lang nya slide ng slide.
nagdidiaper p rin sya hanggang ngyn kc kpag d sya nagdiaper d sya umiihi. pinipigil nya kahit ihing ihi n sya. tinuturuan nman nmin sya n magsabi n samahan s cr pero uulitin lang nya pero d sya pupunta don. 
fast learner naman sya she knows how to count 1-10 even spanish counting thanks to dora hehe khit nwawala ang siete bigla n lang otso, alphabet song, color and some animals. nagshu-shutdown n rin ng computer. yung nga lang ayaw nya ng paulit ulit kpag ask mo sya. mdali rin syang magsawa s gnagawa at mainitin ang ulo.
ang sabi ng husband ko parang may mild autism ang baby nmin (wag naman sana) parang tom cruise daw. gusto ko nga syang patingnan s dev ped nung nbasa ko. d ko p sya ineenroll s school kc masyado pangbata.
minsan nga naiisip ko ano b akong klaseng nanay bat ngkganun anak ko. nagwowork kc ko kya s gabi ko n lang sya naaalagaan. lolo lang nya nag aalaga s knya. help nyo nman ako kung anong remedy s baby ko. TIA.

Sis, much better kung mapapatignan mo na sya sa dev ped para malaman mo ang condition nya habang maaga pa. Ang pagkakaalam ko si Tom Cruise may ADHD at Dyslexia.
