Living with Hypotonia
One of the ways that Precious’ disability presents itself is through her low muscle tone, also known as hypotonia. When Precious was first born, her hypotonia showed itself through her general floppiness, and in the way she laid on her back with legs and arms akimbo, like a frog. She was really hard to pick…
Social Inclusion for Children with Developmental Disabilities
