Developmental Pedia (Thread 2)

[rhumbafrapp]

Offtopic
Manila and San Juan rates (I have clinic days in these locations) for OT 550-600, speech 550-650. Evals more or less 1300 to 2000 per discipline. Kaya nagulat ako angmahal naman ng posted rates
Pero therabilities talaga Mas mahal - ortigas area and equipment they have. Tip: Pero eto ha, if your OT is creative, and skillful enough, you don't need all the fancy equipment, kasi your OT can find ways to make sure your child gets whatever input he needs even using everyday materials. Tandaan, you should follow up at home. E pano if you don't have fancy equipment and materials or big spaces? Hindi naman natatapos sa 1hr x 2 to 3 sessions a week yun therapy ng bata

Para di naman off topic talaga: devpeds rate AFAIK usually 3000-5000 first meeting, then check ups 2500-3500

Hi mommies,

Need po recommendation or feedback ng developmental pedia in taguig or makati po saka kung magkano. My daughter is two years and 8 months pero di pa nagsasalita(pero she babbles a lot) and she is not making eye contact specially sa mga di niya kilala. May red flags ng autism kaya we need to see a doctor ASAP. Di rin covered ng HMO niya. Pero hoping ang praying to God na wag na man sana. Im also a working single parent at first time mom kaya i need to canvas muna kng san yung afford ko. Thank you sa sasagot.

Hi any feedback po kay dra Junio of TMC ortigas? Naka schedule po kasi kami this april 8 sakanya for feeding screening, ayaw kasi kumain ni baby most of the time. She is 17 months already.

Nagpunta kami sa development pedia last Friday kase my son cannot focus at school.
He's not doing the required worksheets and school works, pero kapag pinilit na pasagutan sa kanya nagagawa niya perfect.
Lagi siyang bored sa school at sinasabi sa akin na alam na nya yung itinuturo ng teacher.
Masyadong maraming tanong, at kapat sinagot yung tanong nya, he tried to twist yung sagot mo.

According to the doctor, potentially gifted ang anak ko.
His mind age is advance for his current age.
Nag-advice sya to take further tests once he reached 6 years old.
But also he required my son to have OT since he acquired ADHD symptoms due to misplaced grade level at school.  Para daw ma-correct at ma-"unlearn".
Nag-advise din sya na kausapin ang school for proper grade level ng bata this coming school year.

^ sis polka08 relate ako sayo ha.
I've learned that he is indeed bored at his daily routines in school and was not mentally challenged. Kaya instead of listening he just chooses to do what entertains him. He is scheduled to meet with a gifted child specialist. Sabi din ng directress instead of bringing him to a dev ped doon daw muna. He has a super active mind and the need for exploration is just necessary. He learned all these by himself I bought him books about space and world maps and i challenge him by giving him tests written or by the internet. Super laki ng difference ng son ko before at ngayon. We make sure na everyday there's new information na papasok sa brain niya. Kaya yung topics na yan talagang palago pa ng palago. He also loves art he likes to paint and draw and to build things.

Gaano ba siya kagulo sa class niya? He might be bored also. What kind of activities ang sinuggest ng dev ped niyo? Try mo painting sis. Also you can have him checked with a gifted child specialist din. 

Hello Sis lilsaintsm0m, how was your kid now?
If diagnosed by developmental pedia with "potentially gifted", what's the next step?
Saang school na sya nag-aaral ngayon?
Meron bang support group ang mga ganitong klaseng bata?
Salamat.

Hello Mommies!

Anyone here who has feedback on Dra. Aguila of Bacoor Doctors Medical Center?

Also, any recommendations for South-based dev ped? Particularly in Bacoor, Cavite and Alabang area? Thanks so much in advance, mommies.

[assiran]

Hello mommies. I got a schedule on Nov 23 at MedMom for Dra. Tippy as I backread po kasi ay maraming magandang feedbacks sa kanya.

My son is 2 yrs old and 5 months. Medyo bothered ako kasi pag tinatawag naming siya, hindi siya agad natingin. Tapos mahilig din siya magline up ng cars niya. Then umiikot din sya tapos yong eyeball niya sa gilid. Hindi pa rin siya masyadong clear magsalita. One word lang mga nasasabi niya. Ang two words palang ata ay Thank you na pronounced as 'T Q' and ice cream 'Ice Kee'. Alam na niya yong ABC, 1-20 and shapes. Mahilig siyang makisalamuha sa naglalarong bata kahit siya iyong pinakabata.

Pag inuutusan naman namin siya, nakikinig siya. Alam niya kapag aalis kami , iiyak siya. Nagagalit na din siya pag hindi pinagbibigyan gusto niya. Magsusumbong siya sa Papa niya or sa Auntie ko pag pinagagalitan siya or vice versa sa akin. Ginagaya niya si Pocoyo and mga actions sa Super Simple Songs sa youtube.  Tapos kinukuha niya din ang books niya na parang binabasa niya yong mga nakasulat don.

What do you think mommies? Sorry ang haba po. Salamat and God bless.

^There are red flags for autism based on what you have mentioned, but of course, only a trained professional can diagnose autism.  I suggest you speak to the secretary of Dr. Tippy to put you in an earlier slot because of the urgency and age of your son (at 2.5 years medyo critical na matingnan na siya ng developmental pedia).  In case may cancellation, makiusap ka na ilagay kayo sa slot.  Ang tagal pa kasi ng November.

Actually sis, overseas kasi kami tapos ang schedule talaga na available ni Dra. ay March 2017. Then, her secretary sent a mail informing us that we are booked on November as someone backed out. I will also have my son check here and also want to be check in Manila. I hope and pray everything will be fine. I am so grateful, I found this topic. Thanks mga mommies.

hi mga sis.

pa recommend naman ng magaling na neuro dev pedia for my friend's 10 year old son. diagnosed with motor tic and seizure that can lead to full blown epilepsy if not treated. gusto lang niya ng second opinion before sila mag start ng treatment. ang neuro pedia na tumingin sa bata is dr, marilyn tan ng pgh ad manila doc hosp.

Hi sis, I was referred to a neuro-pedia muna before a dev-ped. My son's neuro pedia is Dra. Carolyn Butler, her office is at Medical Plaza (just behind Makati Med), ner contact no. is 02 867 2026.

[vain_kixie]

Jocelyn Santos or Sanchez? Yung Dr Jocelyn Sanchez kasi na kilala ko after 2 weeks din yung written diagnosis though sinasabi naman daw verbally on the day pero yung detailed report after 2 weeks pa.


Pero sinabi naman sayo yung diagnosis verbally right after?

[rhumbafrapp]

Usually right after they give a piece of paper, minsan front page minsan back to back
Ang content :

Info /complaints from parents
Observation ng doctor- clinical, test response
Grade/ age result
Diagnosis
Recommendation- can be as general as for OT, speech to being specific as to among program like example fine motor, behaviors 
When to follow up - usually 6 months after

[samtorini]

^vain_kixie, yes sinabi verbally sis. but all the schools/therapy centers we've been to asked for the assessment report before they can formally accommodate and assess my kid.


medyo vague din kasi kung after 2 weeks, meaning it can go beyond that, thus, long waiting time and nauubusan na kami ng slot sa OT na malapit sa amin. I would appreciate it if the doctor can give the report within two weeks. not after 2 weeks pa bibigay.

[blackrainbow]

@samtorini: sis kay Dra. Reloza yung daughter ko and right after ng assessment is my binigay agad na written result.

[puzzlemom]

Sis samtorini how was Dr Jocelyn's written eval naman? I read somewhere very detailed daw siya?

I already got a diagnosis for my son last month with a different dev ped, next check up is on Feb pa. Nagpa sched na ako kay Dr Jocelyn of St Lukes. Siya kasi yung recommended ng pedia ng son ko we went lang initially to a diff dev ped kasi siya yung may earliest sched and yung kay Dra Sanchez september pa.
