Please meet this cute boy named Bowie. He was diagnosed with congenital cataracts in both eyes. However he underwent surgical treatment with implantation of intraocular lenses. There is suspected Glaucoma. He is also diagnosed with Children’s cerebral palsy – Quadri pyramidal syndrome. Grand mal seizures with or without petit mal seizures.
Bowie can sit up independently from a lying position. He can stand up by holding on to various objects. He walks independently but it is uncoordinated. The child lags in neuropsychological development. He accepts bodily closeness with pleasure. It is pleasant for him to be held by an adult. The presence of children in his immediate space does not bother him, but he does not show interest in them and does not initiate interaction. He is soothed by riding in a pram or listening to favorite children’s songs. He prefers the environment to be quiet. He becomes nervous and anxious around loud noise. He is entirely dependent on the care of an adult.
