Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Everyone, I would greatly appreciate your input regarding the following scenario. My son, , is 4 yrs. old and is walking by holding one hand. If you let go, he will freeze, protest, and plop on the floor. He demonstrates the same reactions after standing independently for approx. 30 seconds. The physical therapist from 's school asked me to query our developmental pediatrician whether he might be a candidate for an anti-anxiety medication, because she feels that emotional issues (rather than muscle tone or motor planning ones) are keeping him back from walking independently at this point. Were any of your children ever prescribed an anti-anxiety medication for the purposes of expediting independent walking? I have been in touch with our local developmental ped. as well as Dr. Capone and am waiting to hear back from them. Thank you in advance for your help! Best, Mom to , 4 yrs. old DS/PDD-NOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
