Li te f\u00e8t ak tortikolis, e menmsi nou te eseye rem\u00e8dye li ak k\u00e8k etannman poukont nou, sa pa t ase. Pedyat la te refere nou bay Premye Pa (byenke pou enf\u00f2masyon ou: si ou gen enkyetid espesifik ou ta renmen yon opinyon sou li, ou ka kontakte Premye Pa t\u00e8t ou epi f\u00e8 yon referans dir\u00e8k).<\/p>\n<p>An jeneral, men kijan sa fonksyone: Yon fwa referans lan pase, yo kontakte w pou yon admisyon epi yon evalyasyon (tout bagay sa yo f\u00e8t lakay ou, sa ki bon sitou si w gen l\u00f2t timoun; ou pa bezwen jwenn yon moun pou veye w oswa mennen yo tout av\u00e8k ou nan randevou sa yo).<\/p>\n<p>Si timoun nan kalifye pou s\u00e8vis yo, epi sipoze pitit ou a sou Medicaid, ou p ap peye anyen epi terapi a oswa terapi yo ap f\u00e8t lakay ou; pou timoun ki pa sou Medicaid, mwen kw\u00e8 li baze sou asirans men mwen pa gen eksperyans p\u00e8son\u00e8l ak sa epi sit ent\u00e8n\u00e8t la pa kl\u00e8 jan li ta dwe ye a.<\/p>\n<p>Pou pi gran pitit gason m nan, li te kalifye s\u00e8lman pou Terapi Fizik (PT) yon fwa pa sem\u00e8n. Donk, yon fwa s\u00e8vis yo te k\u00f2manse, nou te gen yon PT ki te vin lakay nou yon fwa pa sem\u00e8n pandan in\u00e8dtan. Li te konn pase tan ap f\u00e8 lonje k\u00f2 l, men plis pase sa, li te konn anseye m sa pou m f\u00e8 pou m kontinye travay la nan l\u00f2t jou yo... se la vr\u00e8 pwogr\u00e8 nan kondisyon li te f\u00e8t. Li kl\u00e8, randevou chak sem\u00e8n yo te enp\u00f2tan pou asire m ke m te rete sou bon chemen ak &quot;travay&quot; mwen yo, men lef\u00e8t ke m te vin gen konesans ak ekipman te ede m f\u00e8 sa li te bezwen; pwen an se, nou te kapab travay an ekip pou mete l sou bon chemen an.<\/p>\n<p>Epi, k\u00f2m yon bagay mwen panse ki yon ti jan enteresan: 11 ane apre, l\u00e8 nou te pran plasman yon tibebe 3 mwa ki te frajil medikalman (ki te gen torticollis grav, ansanm ak plizy\u00e8 l\u00f2t bezwen), nou te deja resevwa f\u00f2masyon sou fason pou f\u00e8 etannman yo, kidonk nou te kapab k\u00f2manse yo touswit, pandan n ap tann pou rek\u00f2mandasyon Premye Pa li a pase epi pou s\u00e8vis yo k\u00f2manse.<\/p>\n<p>Epi pale de s\u00e8vis yo, mwen bezwen eksplike ke Premye Pa yo bay plis pase terapi fizik (an reyalite, pi piti nou an te itilize terapi fizik, terapi okipasyon\u00e8l, terapi lapaw\u00f2l ak terapi terapi la). Donk, jis pou referans ou, s\u00e8vis ki disponib atrav\u00e8 Premye Pa yo enkli:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teknoloji Asistans (AT)<\/li>\n<li>S\u00e8vis Odyolojik<\/li>\n<li>Terapi Devlopmantal (DT) (ki gen ladan Edikasyon Fanmi, F\u00f2masyon, ak Kons\u00e8y; S\u00e8vis Sante; S\u00e8vis Medikal; S\u00e8vis Enfimy\u00e8; ak S\u00e8vis Nitrisyon)<\/li>\n<li>Terapi Okipasyon\u00e8l (OT)<\/li>\n<li>Terapi fizik (PT)<\/li>\n<li>S\u00e8vis Sikolojik<\/li>\n<li>Kow\u00f2dinasyon S\u00e8vis (SC)<\/li>\n<li>S\u00e8vis Travay Sosyal<\/li>\n<li>Terapi Lapaw\u00f2l<\/li>\n<li>Transp\u00f2<\/li>\n<li>Vizyon<\/li>\n<li>L\u00f2t S\u00e8vis Endividyalize<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yon d\u00e8nye bagay mwen ta renmen mansyone se ke menm si pitit ou a kalifye pou yon terapi oswa yon s\u00e8vis ak Premye Pa, li posib ke li pa t pwogrese ase l\u00e8 l gen twa zan; nan yon ka konsa, l ap gen terapi dey\u00f2 lakay la. Pi piti mwen an te gen terapi fizik, terapis okipasyon\u00e8l ak terapi lapaw\u00f2l lakay li, men li te toujou bezwen s\u00e8vis l\u00e8 li te gen twa zan, kidonk nou te chanje pou terapis dey\u00f2.<\/p>\n<p>Epi dapre eksperyans mwen, Premye Pa f\u00e8 yon travay ekselan pou ede w ak tranzisyon an; yo pa tann jiskaske timoun nan gen 3 an epi yo annik lage l. Yo k\u00f2manse ede w ak pwosesis tranzisyon an k\u00e8k mwa apre pou timoun nan pa p\u00e8di s\u00e8vis yo.<\/p>\n<p>Mwen konnen sa pa yon bezwen tout paran adoptif genyen, men mwen te vle f\u00e8 w konnen si ou menm oswa yon l\u00f2t paran adoptif ou konnen ta ka jwenn li benefik.<\/p>\n<p>Sens\u00e8man,<\/p>\n<p>Kris<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who are fostering a kiddo under the age of three, I want to make you aware of a resource you might not know about: First Steps.
