Genetic Disorders

There are thousands of genetic disorders and more are being found at an increasing rate. They can be very diverse. We always tell families that we cannot know if BrainChild can help, but it always has done, to date. Search in Success Stories about children with genetic conditions, for example.

Many of the children with genetic disorders have a developmental delay. This may be helped by BrainChild.

Down’s syndrome is a well know genetic condition. Because of the instability of the cervical spine (neck area) we require a chartered physiotherapist to screen a person with Down’s syndrome using the simple screening test developed by the British Gymnastics Association. This can be completed prior to assessment, or here at BrainChild.
