How Can Learning Disabilities Be Treated While Suffering From Microcephaly?

Hello Doctor, Kindly advise me on how to improve my son 8 years old with microcephaly on significant learning disabilities? He s obviously outgrowing some of the challenges. We place him on eyeglasses to help his impaired vision and we are seeing the improvement. I also need help on how to manage his hyperactivity problem and the imbalance in the way he walks. Thanks. Adebayo from Nigeria

hI. .sorry to hear of this .we appreciate the difficulty one has to face in such challenging tasks.but to be very frank you need to work more hard with him.this may include special excercises , putting him in special educations schools and alot more .most of these all need practise and hard work. this may also need help form physiotherapy for his walking etc.his learning disabilities can also be adressed at special schools .
however thier is no harm in seeing a neurosurgeon if anything wrong anatomically could be corrected .
her hyperactivity syndrome should also be assessed by a doctor he may give some medicine for that after assessment
