LAB
Children with epilepsy, developmental delay need some rare investigations with high quality procedure performance. Some kids need genetic and metabolic tests. We provide all necessary lab services. We established a MoU with national level labs for rare tests.
Autism assessment
When to suspect Autism? Poor communication, no eye contact, not mingling with peer groups, stereotypes (rocking, spinning, hand flapping), speech delay, prefers to play alone and fixed interest. One of the earliest sign is a lack of joint attention, which can be evident prior to 1st birthday. Some children with autism have feeding issues, sleep issues and sensory problems.
If any behavioral issues or above symptoms, consult pediatric neurologist and evaluate.
Diagnosis can be done with available psychological scores.
M CHAT – R/F
ISAA – Indian scale for assessment of autism
INCLEN ASD
CARS
Autism can be categorized as mild, moderate and severe based upon the ISAA scores and advice appropriate intervention activities. Dr. Sai Chandar Reddy had vast experience in assessment of autism with various scores. He participated in many autism workshops and conferences as a delegate and faculty.
ADHD assessment
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, or excessive activity and impulsivity. It impairs regulation of attention, motor activity and impulsivity. These kids have problems with planning, working memory, problem solving and managing behavior.
Prevalence of ADHD has been reported to be 1.6-17.9% in India.
When to suspect ADHD: If child – seems forgetful, easily distracted, unable to stay still when expected, has difficulty in sensing danger, always looking towards another task without completing one, plays roughly and take physical risks.
How it is diagnosed? A detailed clinical history, complete clinical examination and specific scales.
ADHD diagnostic tools: - VSMR

EEG, VEP & BERA
Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures electrical activity of the brain, same as ECG which measures electrical activity of heart. It is non invasive procedure where electrodes are placed over the scalp to record electrical activity of brain. Small children may need oral sedative for the procedure.
EEG can determine changes in brain activity that might be useful in diagnosing brain disorders, especially epilepsy. It might also be helpful for guiding diagnosing like brain tumor, brain damage from head injury, brain dysfunction from variety of causes (encephalopathy), Inflammation of the brain(encephalitis) etc.
Our center had well equipped with EEG and experienced technician to conduct test. We are the one and only exclusive center to report EEG in children with experience.
BERA (brainstem evoked response audiometry) is a non invasive objective test to determine hearing impairement in non verbal babies ...
It gives the approximate average hearing threshold level. It is used to determine the degree of hearing loss objectivity in pediatric patients as well as in difficult to test patients who do not respond reliably to the subjective tests of hearing like the pure tone audiometry. It is usually done using a click sound by which the subject's average hearing threshold across all frequencies is evaluated.
It is performed as sensory assessment of hearing for preterm babies, high risk neonates, babies with developmental delay, children who suffered meningitis etc.
VEP(Visual evoked potential) is an evoked potential caused by visual stimulus. It measures the time for visual stimulus to travel from eye to posterior part of brain (occipital cortex). It indirectly suggest the integrity of nerves that carry the visual information from eye to the brain.
