In this beautiful blue planet, every kid is special. Every kid loves to live a normal life. At a very early stage of their childhood, they learn to make new friends. And, this is the time when they also start comparing themselves with other kids. So, anything anomalous gets their attention very easily. We must admit that not every kid is grown in the same way. Some children are fast enough to grasp anything whereas some children are way too slow than their age group. And, this is the time when the real problem starts.
This developmental delay can be visible in either the way they talk or the way they eat. This delay is generally triggered by brain injuries. In children who are suffering from Autism or Parkinson’s disease, the delay is clearly visible. Well! Gone are the days when parents used to become afraid. The medical science has evolved now and thus, a new term has been coined which is known as ‘neurorehabilitation’. This is actually a rehabilitation process that helps people to regain developmental functions just like before. This medical facility is aimed to treat both children & adults. This process helps people with disabilities where the central or peripheral nervous system has been affected.
Disabilities can affect a kid in numerous ways and thus there are various therapies available. Pediatric Occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, feeding therapy, etc., all these come under the ambit of neurorehabilitation. Children are advised to attend therapy sessions after a regular interval. Here are some of the advantages of neurorehabilitation process. Let’s take a look!
Improvement in sensory information (received from the 5 sensory organs) processing.
Improvement in locomotor movements is another excellent benefit of therapy. It has been commonly observed that often neurological disorder affects the walking capability of kids. Neurorehabilitation gives special attention to that.
Neurological disorders also deeply affect a kid’s academic performance. So, it becomes the responsibility of therapists to give proper attention to academic performance as well.
If the right therapy is implemented, then treating neurological disorders becomes not much challenging. For better implementation and better success rate, it is always best to start a similar therapy within the school premise as well so that faculties and parents can cumulatively encourage the children. With proper family support and support from the school, the cure becomes much faster. The right therapy at the early stage can provide your kid with a new life indeed.
