First you must consult a good paediatrist and a neurologist. They would prescribe the exact medication. Thereafter some regular exercising to provide limb mobility and coordination, which should be done by a specialized physiotherapist. \n\nI suggest you consult All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS, New Delhi)

Physical Therapy focuses on the lower extremities\nOccupational Therapy focuses on the upper extremities\n\nPT focuses on gait, walking, mobility\nOT focuses on dexterity of your hands to perform everyday tasks like cooking, hygeine, etc.\n\nYour Major would be Physical or Occupational Therapy with emphasis in pediatrics.

Water therapy is great because it's gentle on your joints and is resistant to your movement.  You may think you're having easy exercise time until you get out of the water.  I would recommend it for just about anyone over 5 years old.  With a good physical therapist,it's a real workout without sweating or aching joints.

you sure can -  i would just make sure you have been around the age of the child you are going to sit for and know some first aid tips - CPR is always a good one to know you can take a first aid class in just a few hours on a Saturday - however this isn't necessary- but if you are sitting an infant make sure you know how to change diapers and feed them detail stuff like that  - and just be responsible and use your noggin and you should do great!!

We need a little more information in order to help you.  What is the nature of the special need?  For example, does the child have a hearing impairment, or a learning disability, or a physical disability?  How you do the adaptation depends on the disability and the child's strengths and needs.  Possibly if you can add details you may get several good suggestions.

i'm not a physcian, but i work with them in the icu and i have a few suggestions.  they should be patient and work well under pressure, when there is an emergent situation they should be able to handle it calmly and correctly, and they should also be able to work well with nurses and respiratory therapists(that's me) and be open to suggestions from others

When you visit the centre (which is a must if you are planning on sending your child there) here are some things to look for:\n\n* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n* Are the staff friendly and happy?\n* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food provided by centre).
