My son has Microcephaly. It has effected his speech, language, and behavior. I'm looking for another mother with the same experience. Sometimes I just don't know how to cope with the behavior.
Thank you for your responses. I found some web sites that are going to be very useful.
I would recommend that you see a great neurologist. Not sure where you are located but I know a great pedatric neurologist. Dr. Vivian C. Faircloth, Lemoyne, PA ###-###-####
Hi Kristen. I'm not familiar with that disorder however I have a child with autism which affects ALOT of the same issues you are talking about. If you don't mind, what behaviors are you talking about. I might be able to help you out.
If you son is under three years of age, he is eligible to receive free early intervention services in you home. With this you will be able to connect with other parents of children who have microcephaly. Contact the Alliance for Infants,Toddlers and families at ###-###-#### and ask to schedule a free evaluation for your child in your home.
In case you haven't found a support group, you may luck going here and talking to others:
