Conditions We Treat

Utage Neuro & Psychiatry Centre provides specialized neurological and audiological diagnostic testing to support accurate medical decision-making. Our services identify underlying disorders with precision using standardized international protocols.

A neurodevelopmental condition that can affect social communication, interaction, behaviour, and sensory processing.

A condition in which a young child shows significant delays in two or more developmental areas such as motor, speech, cognitive, or social skills.

A developmental condition involving difficulties with intellectual functioning and adaptive skills needed for everyday life.

A neurodevelopmental condition commonly associated with difficulties in attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity.

These involve difficulties developing age-appropriate speech, language, understanding, or communication skills.

DLD is a condition in which a child has persistent difficulties understanding or using language that affect everyday communication.

Cerebral palsy is a group of conditions affecting movement, muscle tone, posture, and coordination due to early brain development differences or injury.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 and may affect development, learning, communication, and physical health.

Learning disabilities are difficulties in specific academic skills such as reading, writing, spelling, or mathematics despite appropriate learning opportunities.

DCD affects the development of motor coordination and can make activities such as dressing, handwriting, sports, or using tools more difficult.

These conditions result from changes in genes or chromosomes and may affect development, growth, learning, or physical health.

Neuromuscular disorders affect muscles and/or the nerves that control movement, potentially causing weakness, fatigue, or motor difficulties.

Some children with epilepsy may experience difficulties with learning, communication, behaviour, attention, or development.

Children may have difficulty processing or responding appropriately to sensory information such as sounds, touch, movement, or visual input.

These involve challenges using and understanding communication appropriately during interactions with other people.

Motor delay occurs when a child develops movement skills such as sitting, crawling, standing, or walking later than expected.

Cognitive development difficulties can affect skills such as learning, memory, problem-solving, understanding, and reasoning.

Some children experience delays across multiple developmental areas along with difficulties understanding or expressing communication.

Feeding difficulties may involve problems with chewing, swallowing, accepting foods, or developing appropriate eating skills.

Developmental regression occurs when a child loses previously acquired skills such as speech, social abilities, movement, or self-care.

Erb’s palsy is a condition affecting nerves of the upper arm, often resulting in weakness or reduced movement of the affected arm.

Torticollis is a condition in which the neck muscles cause the head to tilt or rotate to one side.
Early assessment and physiotherapy can help improve neck movement, posture, and functional development.

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a neurological condition in which the immune system affects peripheral nerves, potentially causing weakness and reduced movement.

Hydrocephalus occurs when excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in or around the brain, potentially increasing pressure within the skull.

Microcephaly is a condition in which a child’s head size is significantly smaller than expected for age and sex, sometimes associated with developmental or neurological difficulties.

Hemiplegia refers to significant weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body, which may affect movement and daily activities.

Spastic diplegia is a form of cerebral palsy characterized mainly by increased muscle tone and stiffness affecting both legs.
