What is the statute of limitations for shaken baby syndrome in new york state?!
Question:
my son was shaken about 2 years ago by his speech therapist and since then he has had difficulties learning and speaking. I just need to know more specifics about sbs. My son is getting better talking and with other things, but the symptoms of sbs are remarkably like what mny son has been experiencing. He refuses to eat anything, he can't put sounds on the beginnings or ends of his words, and he is very irritable and defiant. He wasn't like this before the speech therapist shook him when he was about 18 months old. He is now a beautiful 3 1/2 year old, but is having trouble keeping up with kids his age.
Answers:
Symptoms of untreated shaken-baby syndrome are blindness, mental retardation, and neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy. There will be retinal damage that can be observed in a eye exam.
If your son was having speech therapy as an 18 month old, and now has speech and learning problems, I do not see any reason to believe it is not a continuation of an existing problem.
You should discuss this with your pediatrician. I would expect the pediatrician to help you get testing and therapy for your son. If not, call your local school district to see if they have testing and early-intervention programs. This varies from one location to another. Investigate what other school districts nearby offer, too. It may be worth moving to gain better dianostic and intervention.
