Patient asked followup Question: 11 years ago
I already know this, its run by families having this problem. I have asked you if you know any specific case/have any suggestion for therapies to improve swallow/physical delay.
Dr. Sajid Ahmed answered : 11 years ago
Unfortunately I do not know of any therapy to improve swallowing in motor incoordination due to chromosome 13 deletion.
Good to know you are aware of support groups with the same condition as your child, as you can share experiences and difficulties.
Regards.

hello, continued physiotherapy might help improve power / physical delay. and speech therapy may help depending upon type and extent of delayed development.
an IQ/DQ testing can give serve as a guide to therapy.
This test is available in all medical institutes.
other investigations that should be done are -BERA , VEP.
