Hi quvette
I'm surprised the PD and medical social worker haven't referred baby Zav for early intervention.
I think the Spastic School and Rainbow Centre provides early intervention for infants below:
The Spastic Children's Association of Singapore
www.[B]rainbowcentre[/B].org.sg/
You do a self-referral or get the following agencies to refer you to a suitable EI ctr
a) The Centre for Enabled Living (Home),
b) medical social worker from govt hospital.
>Does not recognise caregivers, not even parents. Does not even recognise milk bot.
>Does not turn to sound though he pass hearing test.
>Does not show excitement to toys or kids or anything.
Some babies with cerebral palsy appear to be unresponsive, not because they don't recognise people or objects. It is because they can't move their muscles well enough to respond.
If he feeds well, it indicates facial muscles are less affected by CP. You can try massaging his face along "muscle lines" to stimulate them.
Other fun things :
-stimulate Zav with noisy toys, moving toys or toys with flashing lights
- sing & touch him at specific parts of body
Other possible (useful) programmes for kids w CP:
Glen Domann style of behv patterning (try to consult a PT to get specific advice)
I think Zav is really too young for doctors to judge whether he can learn to walk, etc. Early Intervention before 1 year old is VERY impt.
I hope Zav get a place at EI ctr soon.
Otherwise, I believe epicurean mummy has a fantastic PT for her little boy. Lost the contact. Maybe you try to PM her.
