Ren’s latest report from the Development Pediatrician
He was seen by his new DevPed Dr. Rita Villadolid last November and here is the latest progress report:
Locomotor Skills (such as running, jumping, hopping, galloping, skipping and leaping): at least 4 years old
Personal-Social Skills ( communicating and interacting with others effectively) : 3 -3 1/2 years old
Hearing and Speech Skills: 2 1/2- 3 years old
Eye and Hand Coordination: 5 years old
Performance: 5 years old
Practical Reasoning: 3 1/2 years old
He is currently home schooled independently by me however, the DevPed recommended to place him in a SpED Program to facilitate behavior management that will better prepare him for learning.
Our journey is just starting.Β We are celebrating every accomplishments that he does, we are proud of him.Β And, we know every trials and sacrifices are all worth it in the end.
This is a good way to monitor our kids ,as a mom,just be brave , continue supporting our kids development
Hi,
I appreciate your post regarding the list of devped.i never realize that it is so difficult to find a doctor and that it can be very expensive My son is 6 yrs old, the problem that he has is that he cant remember how a certain letter in the alphabet looks like he can distunguished if we show him the letters.the school teacher advise us to have him checked.so i am looking for a dr. that can help us.
maybe he’s dyslexic (my son is the opposite). But to give you the right advice, yes you should look for a DevPed near your area π
Hi my daughter is 6 years old,ano po ba mas better devped or assessment agad sa sped doctor?Delay po kase ang speech nya,although she can read alphabets,numbers,alam nya din po ang mga shapes and colors..she can even perform addition and substraction.. kokonti lang yung words nyang alam..kapag nagsasalita na sya ng mabilis parang chinese na..lalo na pag nagpapakwento ako sa kanya..need advice po..thank you..
I don’t know what’s the difference of Developmental Doctor to a Special Education Doctor, as far as I know they’re the same. We haven’t visited a SPED doctor kasi. I suggest DevPed po muna if you’re so concern about her development. They will guide you what to do next.
hi i have my child becoming 4 this feb.also hirap po pagdating sa pagsasalita. kaunti lang po ung alam nyang nasasambit although he know how to read alphabets numbers and even sings po and also some rhymes, happy birthday. and iimitate din ng mga sounds once naririnig nya and nakakbisado nya. pag may iniuutos akong kunin nya nakukuha nya naman. parang chinese kc ang pagsasalita nya. ganon po sya. ano po kayang dapt sa kanya. medyo na babad kasi sa youtube eh. pero nakapaglaro po sya ng mga toys nya like cars, trains and also nkikipaglaro naman sa mga kalaro but still di padin gano naiintindihan magsalita. alam nya mga single words like mama,papa,nanay,hoy,oi,gogo no,yes….. ano po kayang pwede kong gawin? some advise po? thanks!
I suggest to visit a DevPed as soon as possible to evaluate your child, or better pa check na din sa mga Occupational therapist baka speech delay lang yan.
Hi, i have a 4 year old son who is developmentally delayed. I want him to be assessed. Can you recommend a good developmental pediatrician in metro manila. We live in Balintawak Quezon City.
Appreciate your reply. Thank you.
There’s one in St.Lukes kaso ang hirap magpa schedule. You can check the list of DevPed here – http://mommylevy.com/2013/07/list-of-developmental-pediatricians.html
