·         Expectant mothers should attend pre-natal clinics 
·         Expectant mothers should ensure that they give birth in a certified hospital or that  they are attended to by a qualified doctor or midwife
·       The condition can be managed and improved on through occupational therapy through occupational therapy


The benefits of Occupational Therapy

  •              It helps people with physical disabilities in pediatric and physical dysfunction return to ordinary tasks around home and at work by maximizing physical potential through lifestyle adaptations and possible use of assistive devices.
  •          It offers training to maximize independence in activities of daily living (such as grooming, bathing, toileting, feeding and dressing).
