Brief Answer:
Needs more details related to her.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
She needs assessment for the cause for her low IQ, her hyperactivity, and lack of interest in activities and school work.
Before advising you about your child I need some details about her.
What is the diagnosis is made by her regular pediatrician or the other doctors to whom you have showed?
What about her scholastic and academic performance?
Will she play and communicate with her friends?
Is she having any behavioral problems?
Was there any significant medical problem in her since birth like prematurity, low birthweight, seizures, jaundice at birth, or hospital admission for any medical condition?
What about her mile stones? Did she achieve her speech and language milestones normally at appropriate age?
These details are important to know any underlying specific medical problem which will help to come to a conclusion and to advise further measures to be taken.
Awaiting for the details in your next follow up query.
Regards.
