Your child may have been labeled as being mentally handicapped, athetoid, deficient, developmentally delayed, hyperactive, or as having cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, stroke, attention deficit disorder, reading or learning problems, or any number of syndromes like down’s syndrome. Depending on what area of the brain is injured, your child may have problems with movement, sensation, vision, hearing, language, learning, behavior, or a combination of these things. In addition, your child may have problems with allergies, digestion, elimination, seizures, and general health well-being, or he may be in a coma. All of these things are symptoms of brain injury. The brain is responsible for the entire function of the body. Since this is the case, brain injury may cause many different symptoms. If your child has any of these symptoms or labels, this “category” is for you.

Newsflash

How is Yafaau?

Yafaau is generally ok but we are concerned about his low weight. He's getting thinner day by day, although we try every effort not to let that happen. With feeding difficulty, we are also limited to different textures of food because he is on semi-solid food diet. We also could not give just any food as he is prone to constipation and that has been a concern since his early years.

But he is Fun to be with, smiles and even laughs on when we play with him. Samiya, my wonderful wife makes my life easier takes great care of him and am sort a happy with how he's improving. Slowly but surely :)

Thank you for being with us at Yafaau's FanClub

Thank you all very much for your blessings and concern, and thank you for being with us.

I'd like to remind all of you on Yafaau's FanClub again about telling young minds about children like Yafaau. Talking to young children about children with disAbilities do help them understand more about these "unusual" kids or maybe adults. Many "special" parents still feel difficult to be in public places due to community's response on their child. I however feel if children in our community is openly explained and their parents are made aware of the fact that it is okay to approach and ask "special" parents questions they do not happen to know. Because most of them don't know of any child or a person with a disAbility. Anyway, We can and we will, insha Allah see that day.
