The child was given physiotherapy at our day care centre with continuous physio therapy his posture and weaknesses has improved. The child is having almost normal intelligence, normal behaviour and speech development, but requires support to do normal day to day activities and feeding. The boy is now attending schools showing normal learning abilities. He does good recitation its our pleasure that this child is having good social and educational support through us.
