Make an appointment for treatment
Good afternoon! My name is Yana, I’m the mother of Bogdanchyk 3 years old. Diagnosis: global developmental delay GDD, sensory-motor alalia. The child was born healthy and developed without any abnormalities or peculiarities until the age of one year. My husband and I began to notice the first bells at the age of one and a half, but all relatives and doctors attributed this to the child’s character type. He did not want to respond to his name, did not pay attention to pictures, did not want to learn to distinguish objects, but the sounds “pa, ba” were present in the lexicon, he could wave “bye”. Everything changed when he got sick with COVID19, the child changed and went into himself, he did not look into the eyes, did not react to the spoken language, he did not have a pointing gesture, he did not even want to just sit on the potty, he started to spread out lines all the time, take everything in one place, walk on tiptoes, almost did not eat anything. Then I realized that my child is not like everyone else.
Our first steps were unsuccessful, neurologists assured us to wait until 3 years. They said it was all because of the gags, cartoons, try to exclude it and everything will be fine. But it did not get better, he started having tantrums, he did not sleep at night. And we turned to a psychiatrist, he already established a provisional diagnosis for us, wrote out a whole list of prescriptions, tests, then lactose intolerance appeared. There were drugs with vitamins and to improve sleep. So we were treated for a year. There was almost no result. When we started to arrange inclusion in kindergarten, we were told that in general our child is not difficult and classes in kindergarten will help him, but they did not take him to the development center. Although it really surprised me, because our child has not called me mom even once in almost three years. He did not listen to us at all and did not understand, he did not communicate with children, he just ran after them and waved his arms (wings). There were no motives for the game, he just gnawed toys and ran from one side to the other. He did not repeat or copy our actions. Here we realized that our child would not be helped by just speech therapists.
It was at this time that a professor was recommended to us at work, these were people who had been there and got results. At first we doubted, but after reading the reviews and calling a mother who had gone through it, we decided. It must be fate, because it is only 40 km from us, people come here even from other countries, and we are only 50 minutes from home. We have passed the 1st stage. The changes began immediately, from the 3rd – 4th day he became calmer, showed interest in books, toys, he started to ride cars, look at pictures, he had full eye contact, began to look with an understanding look, he stopped waking up at night and started to sleep separately in his own bed, the groundless tantrums disappeared. Although there was a moment of exacerbation, but as the professor says – “Without exacerbation, there is no improvement”.
After the end of the treatment, at home, he had a pointing gesture, new sounds and even words (although they are not clear, but this is progress) he began to fulfill some requests. He responds to his name, understands that he needs to get dressed, undress, wash, sit down, lie down, give a hand and even brush his teeth. We are already satisfied with the result and still hope for improvement.
We thank Professor Vagif Memedovych Rakhmanov and the medical staff for their attentiveness and professionalism.
We are not going to stop. We have now reached stage 2. We have at least 3 more stages ahead of us, after which I hope to hear that cherished word “mom”. More to come…
