My eldest daughter meron ADHD and LD (pero mild lang daw). She was born with cleft lip/palate and according to the dev-pedia, baka isa rin ito sa effect ng congenital deformity niya. Her Dev-Pedia is Dra. Jocelyn Eusebio. meron syang clinic in cubao and UERM and she charges 2,500 per visit. She's seen may daughter since she was 4yo pa. Now ata ang charge nya is 3k na per visit.

Sis. Mommylyn,  Dati si Dr. Eusebio ang dev ped ng anak ko. Noong Feb 2012 ko lang sya pinatingin kay Dr. Eusebio 2,500 assessment fee nya sa house nila ito sa Murphy Quezon City. Ngayon nag change na ko nang  dev ped. May ni-recommend kasi ang sped teacher ng anak ko. Dr. Jocelyn Sanchez ng St. Lukes ngayon ang dev ped nang son ko.

3,000 ang assessment fee nya, pero pag follow up check up lang nasa 500.  Impressed din kami hubby kasi napaka detalyado ang report nya. Hindi katulad  nung una naming dev ped hindi nakita na may mild adhd ang son ko.

@ neneng_bee

sis, what are those characteristics ng son ninyo kung bakit na diagnose siya na may mild adhd? ans how ols is your son? kasi ang 3 yrs old son ko din super likot pag sa bahay tipong di mapakali sa upuan lahat ng kalikutan sa kanya ata hindi mo makita na nakaupo lang unless kung meron siyang ginagawa o umiinom ng milk niya sa glass. very short span lang talaga ang attention niya but he is very snart kid. at 3 years old he can read and spell some words... thank you.

[neneng_bee]

Hello sis,

Ito pala ang mga characteristic ng son ko. difficulty staying seated, fidgeting and bouncing while seated, talking excessively, seeming to be in constant motion, climbing on things and jumping off things inappropriately, running inappropriately.  My son is 7 he was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia at the age of 6.

Sa tingin ko masyado pang maaga para mag-conclude ka na may adhd ang son mo. Natural nalang sa mga bata ages 3 below ang super likot lalo na at lalake ang anak mo.  Ideal ipatingin ang bata sa dev ped kung sa tingin mo na may adhd sya ages 5 above. Base ito sa dev ped ng anak ko. Thanks!

Based from Kaplan, diagnostic criteria of ADHD :ADHD is diagnosed before 7 years old


Actually, parents usually notice it when it is school-age time. Symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and or inattentiveness ang napapansin.Usually kids nowadays start school around 3+ -4 years old right? Noticeable by school age, kasi yun mga difficulty staying seated, roaming around, does not seem to listen,  difficulty staying in line, etc doon talaga nahahahalata.

@ neneng_bee and rhumbafrapp

mga sis thank you for shariing those info and ideas regarding adhd in kids. Yes, agree, that adhd be best evaluated during school age. With some insights from you kelangan ko magiging cautious from those symptoms and charateristics kasi may mga red flags of adhd akong napapansin sa son ko. But hope na its just a part of their phase... Thanks.

Tama ka sis 3+ pwede mo na makita kung may adhd ang bata. Kaya lang siguro nasabi ng dev ped ko na atleast 5+ ang ideal age na ipatingin ang bata, kasi siguro ang 3+ talagang kakulitan age ito ng  mga kids.

[rhumbafrapp]

^ yes sis, pwede din naman muna sabihin ng dr na AT RISK. madami at start na AT RISK muna, since, well, madaming factors din to consider. for example, yun behavior ng kids pag may other kids, especially pagka only child lang or konti yun exposure with other kids. Example lang ha, not to be taken in the general sense

[beapat]

Tanong mga sisses, not sure kung may nakapag tanong na ito, pwede din bang mag pa-assess sa devped kahit wala namang nakikitang concern (s) sa baby ko? Gusto ko lang syang ipa-assess just to make sure na wala akong namiss na development delay sa kanya.

Thanks

[marose17]

^ Yeah, puwedeng-puwede.  Actually, developmental screening is recommended at 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months of age even if there is no concern or issue. 

[m_lim]

saan nagpapa assess? sa pedia ba?

sinong recommended pedia sa St Lukes QC? breastfeeding advocate sana

[marose17]

^ The pedia should initially conduct the screening during well baby check-ups.  If there's a concern, like, if the baby is not hitting her milestones on time, the pedia may refer the case to a developmental pedia.

Our pedia at St. Luke's QC is Dr. Mianne Silvestre.  She went on indefinite leave but I heard she's back.  Please check na lang.  She is a consultant of WHO and DOH on breastfeeding and newborn protocol.

^thanks sis marose :-) may sched ako kay Dr. Tippy and i'm starting to make some notes regarding my baby's developments.  Bigla ko lang naisip if [textspeak!] ba kahiya na magpa assess sa kanya kahit wala naman akong napapansin na kakaiba and its a good assurance na ok lang talaga na mag pa assess sa kanya.

God bless

Hi sisses,anyone knows a dev ped in Cebu? I live in mindanao and have tried dev peds here but not so satisfied. I want my son to be re assessed.

[marose17]

^^ Dr. Tippy calls it being pro-active.  When is your appointment?  Sa Medical City ba or at her new clinic at Fun Ranch?
