What Causes Lack Of Palm Sensation And Clumsiness?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My 10 yo son was in the hosp for ADHD and depression issues while there they did a short neurological work up on him and the Dr herself called me with the results being she was concerned she wants a full workup done on an outpatient basis. She said he has some hypotonia (sp?),he is unable to identify palm sensations with his eyes closed, clumsiness and his eyes were tracking the wrong way when like up and down rather than left or right. what kind of possibilites am I looking at?

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion your child may also have sensory processing disorder, in which he may have perceptual difficulties. His clumsiness may also be explained with this. It is common for children with ADHD to also have perceptual difficulties.
In my opinion he will benefit with sensory integration therapy.
I hope I have helped you
If you have further queries please feel free to ask.
