Rett Syndrome Growth Chart for Head Circumference

Bridget — Tue, 15 May 2012 01:02:04 +0000


Slowing of the normal rate of head growth, failure to thrive and growth abnormalities are common symptoms of Rett Syndrome therefore a typical growth chart is not optimal for our Rett girls. This is a Rett Syndrome growth chart that takes into consideration these factors as well as when these symptoms usually become apparent. This may be a document you want to print and share with your pediatrician to track your Rett girls growth rather than the standard chart.

Love that I can recline her, but keep in mind that that adds to the size and weight of the chair. Also, I have an adjustable extended handle. So dad@ 6′3″ can push her easily but so can Calan. Glides easily as I often push and Manuver one handed as I’m
Opening a door or grabbing a kid.

This is wonderful! She looks so much more comfortable and can’t really rock much!

Keekaroo is made by the same company as Special Tomato so if you are looking at the Special Tomato Height Right Chair then you certainly want to check out the Keekaroo – an identical product for less money.

This case is amazing. Has protected our ipad from 3 small children. A few drops, lots of drool and lots of handling. This case is great, it does make the ipad a bit heavier but that’s because it’s durable. The case is non-slip and there is a screen protector.
