Developmental Pedia (Thread 2)

[googoo]

marose17 I have an urgent need to visit a development pedia narin.  More than 2 years na rin my lo and still not speaking. Not even mama or papa.  Then next year pa daw available slot for dra jan harold sia.

[marose17]

^ Try to inquire with other dev peds, sis.  Matagal talaga ang waiting time.

Ang baby ko 4 turning 5 na this coming December..akala ko din hindi na magsasalita mabuti naman bago sya mag 4 nagsalita na iyon nga lang may ibang words na
bulol pa sya pero nakahinga na ako ng maluwag kasi alam ko ok  ang baby ko kaya hindi na ako nagpunta sa Dev ped.
minsan it takes time lang talaga bago sila makapagsalita lalo na kami daw nasa genes namin ang late talker  kaya
nawala na din ang mga worries ko. sana maging okay na din mga babies nyo.

@puzzlemom
I can't say na detailed siya or not kasi wala naman akong nakitang report from other dev ped so I can compare.  But if I compare it to my child's ST, OT, mas very detailed pa ng yung kanila.

[googoo]

May nagpunta na ba here with dr. francis dimalanta?   I might be able to get an earlier schedule, I already sent my filled out form.  Just waiting for the actual schedule for my lo.

Hello. My daughter's dev ped is Dra Jocelyn Sanchez, she does email her report after a couple of weeks, and pretty much detailed. My daughter had 2 previous evaluations from her already. For the 2nd evaluation , she had a questionnaire sent to the school which they will be answering (based on their observation) and to be sent back to her by year end. Sadly, we haven't followed up na. But I intend to have another re-evaluation done, although booked na sya until December, naka waitlist lang kami.

My daughter underwent OT at Therabilities when she was in K2, upon reco of Dra Sanchez. It stopped when my daughter started G1 because of longer school hours. However, her new school was concerned due to hyperactivity and inattentiveness. It was affecting her grades. I had her assessed by an ABA clinic (reco by the school) and even observed by Dra Castrillo (at home and school) (Btw, her rate is 6k). Currently, she is undergoing ABA and will start shadow teaching. But we will be getting another evaluation/opinion by Dra Sanchez.

[puzzlemom]

How is dra Castrillo? Is she a dev ped ba? The aba center my son goes to recommended her as well. But i dont want to shell out that much as i already have a diagnosis and just wants a regular check for my son's development.

Good for you sis but it will not hurt if you will have your daughter check pa din. There are standards per age sa speech ng bata. Sometimes, hindi natin napapansin kasi nagsasalita na we thought they are ok na then magkakaproblema kapag nag grade school na. I'm not saying naman ganon mangyayari sa daughter mo but it will not hurt kung papacheck pa din just to be sure (considering kasi based on your kwento na late na sya nagsalita.)

Pero if you think she's fine 100%, then that's good.

Late talker din ang anak ko at pina-devped ko din bago sya nag-4 .Wala naman diagnosis pero pina-speech therapy ko pa rin dahil hindi pa nagtatanong ng why ,when at how question but the rest (what, where, who) ay lagi sya nagtatanong.. Saglit lang sya nagtherapy. Then nun mag5 sya ngayon natuto na sya makipag-usap. Panay tanong na ng why questions but i seldomly hear him ask when and how questions. Hindi naman ako masyado bothered dahil kapag nagtatanong o kung nakikipag-usap sya ay alam naman nya gamitin ang mga time modifiers na "kanina", "mamaya", "kahapon", "ngayon", "bukas" at alam nya ang days of the week at months of the year.

Yun bunso ko naman ay late talker din (nasa lahi at may kamag-anak kami na middle-aged na pero nabubulol pa rin sa pagsasalita). Pinsan din nila bulol eh hehe..4 na sya at medyo nakapagsasalita na pero bulol din. Hindi masyado maintindihan ang iba nya sinasabi kahit masalita sya.minsan, ilang ulit ko pinapaulit yun sinasabi nya then saka ko lang naiintindihan.Pero hindi ko sya pinadevped dahil dahil matanong sya at nakakasunod sa nursery class nya. Bulol lang talaga.So sa speech lang talaga may problema.. Lately umaayos na ang pagkakabigkas nya ng mga salita unlike before na ang tawag nya sa "basketball court" ay "hasport" tapos sa "pancit canton" ay "pancit con" (either shortcut or bulol)..lately nababanggit na nya ng maayos-ayos ang "garbage collector" as "garbage coyector"  kaya i just want to give her more time na madevelop ang speech nya thru exposure sa ibang bata na tuwid magsalita at pagtu-tutor ng tamang pagbigkas ng mga salita.

I am looking for a Devped here in Rizal sana. Nakakasad lang dahil ang 4 year old ko eh may signs of mild autism daw sabi ng Directress ng school where we inquired. Napansin namin sa kanya na bihira sya magsalita ngayon unlike before nong mga 3 y/o pa sya. Kung tatawagin mo sya kailangan ilang beses uulitin bago lumingon.

[hushush]

^hello sis! May i know kung san ka sa rizal? About your child, pwedeng selective mutism yan or baka bored sya sa school..marami factors eh.nagkaganun ang anak ko selective mutism.then yun pala ayaw nya sa school kasi nabubully sya.inilipat ko sya sa traditional school.big school. Then ayun masaya sya lagi kapag pumapasok.laging excited.malaki pagbabago..
Try mo sis iexpose din sa kapwa bata.then observe mo for 1- 2mos kung may pagbabago..baka kulang lang sa laro..

Atsaka sis, doktor ba yun directress ng school nyo?pedia at least? Bakit nakapagbigay agad sya ng diagnosis?may basis ba sya?nagconduct ba sya ng IQ test? Or standard developmental exam para masabi nya may mild autism ang anak mo?

Had my twin's first assesment just today with dr jocelyn sanchez. My twins are 2.3 years old. Both my twins has GDD as per the dev pedia and most likely the other twin has autism and the other naman daw mas may chance na wala. I feel so bad sad and para akong pinag baksakan ng langit. Yun unang therapy center na na visit ko na recommend ni dev ped along qc is THINKIDS along tomas morato. 750 per session btw OTW need ng twins ko and 3x a week. Sobrang madugo! May ma recommend ba kayo na ok?  May suggestion din pala sa may bandang teachers village. San ba ok and not that pricey? Thank you

[budtz_25]

@newbeymum, my son goes to THINKIDS. okay ang facilities nila pahirapan lang sa pagkuha ng schedule. Try mo sis sa Theraserve sa Kamuning. i think 650 sa kanila.

[xtinearmenio]

Hi, I'm new here. When I searched for Developmental pedia online, i run into this thread and I have read good comments from Dra. Relosa. Is her full name Ma. Veronica N. Relosa? If not, can anybody tell me her full name??

Thanks a lot po...

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis kirsten10, how much na rate ni Dra. Tippy ngayon?

[nicoletta]
