education and physio info
Reply with quote

Hi there
I met a few girls who has babes, tods and older kids with DS while we were in hospital from June (great summer)
This is the info I have for anyone thats interested;

For Early learning and reading etc;
www.pops-resource.com
its a complete set of album books of the Pops family and seemingly is cheaper to buy on the internet. I have seen the woman who actually wrote it, she has a son with DS and lived in Ireland but now lives in Scotland and was on morning TV here a while back but all these mams have been raving about how good the books are. Maybe worth a look into if anyone is interested.
And also the Nuro-Paed Physio in the childrens hospital recommended these for Seans low muscle tone, now I have to go and source them myself and speak to the physio who works in the company but they used the hospital ones for Sean and he could stand up, it was a wow, and it would be better to speak to your own physio first, who probably will never have heard of them if she is anything like my EI physio;
They are called ; Theratogs
They are a complete lycra suit for support for low muscle babies to kids
In Europe the net address is
www;remployhealthcare.com - sourced from the UK
BUt in Ireland, the company is only a 40 min drive and we are going to get Sean fitted - I dont know about the states, oz etc. but you could source by name Theratogs ; who knows all our tods with low muscle tone may be running around sooner...
