We have seen two different neurologists who both felt that he has "developmental coordination disorder" (dyspraxia, hypotonic type) and no other neurological issues -- but I would be very interested to hear of other possible neurological problems.
For vision issues, should I be looking for a developmental optomemtrist? Would my general optometrist be able to help?
He had an MRI that showed a slightly smaller than normal cerebellum which the neurologist thought DS was born with and could explain the dsypraxia. We've seen a geneticist who didn't suspect any type of syndrome. He has also had blood tests and muscle/nerve response tests that all came back normal.
He is a happy, bright, sociable boy, but I worry about whether he will be able to do well in school given his difficulty writing, and maybe reading too . . . He is currently in grade 1.
