hi,

thanks for your question,

unfortunately there is no specific treatment for this condition other than supportive therapy.

it is very difficult to predict exactly how this condition will ultimately affect your niece, only time will tell although being delayed in development does not mean that she will not improve over time.

I hope this answers your question.

best wishes
