#5 Propping on Straight Arms in Supported Sitting: Physical Therapy for a Child with Down Syndrome

First I want to thank Everett's family for inviting me, a stranger, into their home to help others. Thank you so much. Everett has Down syndrome. He was born almost 2 months premature. He had corrective heart surgery and has a g-tube. He is also absolutely adorable. Join me as I follow Everett over time providing pediatric physical therapy treatment recommendations to help him get stronger, faster, and more mobile. I first met him when he was 11.5 months old. I am so excited to see him grow and change over time.
These videos are not to replace in-person physical therapy. Individualized therapy is critical for a child's success. Please do not try these with your child if your child has other risk factors or has skills, strengths, or weaknesses significantly different from Everett. My email address is [e-mail]. My website is: www.pediatricPTexercises.com. Please remember, I am unable to provide treatment recommendations for a child I have not personally evaluated. You will need to find a local therapist for recommendations specific to your child.
These videos may be more helpful seen in order as I perform easier treatment techniques first. Here is the link to his playlist:

I also have available 6 children's educational books addressing Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety, and Encopresis and Enuresis. I now also have 3 professional books "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Hips," "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Knees, and "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Ankles." If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me at [e-mail]. Please note: I cannot provide treatment suggestions for a child I have not personally evaluated.

Hello maam my daughter have Rett syndrome ..she is having problem in balance..can you suggest some exercises..

[@pediatricPTexercises]

I have seen individuals with Retts on a lot of different levels. The best thing you could do was find a local Pediatric physical therapist who can customize a program to your child specific needs. In the meantime, here is my learning to walk playlist:

Thank you..please can you suggest me good ankel support shoes ..Dr here are saying she don't need AFO or SMO

[@pediatricPTexercises]

@@tizaelworld8946 I don’t know specifically what your child needs. However, in general shoes, that support higher on the ankle and give good ankle support, such as hiking shoes often provide more support to a child ankle.

What if the case was: kid doesnt have the skill to roll, nor he holds up his head while on tummy.? A preterm baby 5 .3 m

[@pediatricPTexercises]

Then I would recommend finding a local pediatric therapist who can assist you. It is important to perform exercises at the right level. Here is this child’s playlist from when I had difficulty getting him to hold up his head while on his tummy and difficulty rolling. Maybe it will be some assistance for you.
