Diagnoses we work with
Boya Hospital specializes in pediatric neurological rehabilitation: cerebral palsy, autism and ASD, speech and psycho-speech developmental delays. Each child's program is designed individually after an assessment.
Hyperactivity (ADHD)
The child struggles to hold attention, sit still, and hold back the first impulse — which gets in the way of learning and of getting along with others.
Aggression and Impulsivity
Outbursts of aggression, impulsive acts, and other challenging behavior that almost always stands for a need the child could not put into words.
Alalia
Severe underdevelopment or absence of speech with intact hearing: speech never formed from the start — unlike aphasia, where it existed and was lost.
Anxiety and Fears
The child reacts painfully to anything new: unfamiliar places and people, and changes to the usual daily routine.
Aphasia
Loss of already acquired speech or impaired comprehension following damage to the brain's speech areas.
Attention Deficit
The child finds it hard to concentrate and finish a task, while marked hyperactivity is absent.
Auditory Hypersensitivity
Everyday sounds feel far too loud, frightening, or even painful — the child covers their ears, cries, and avoids noisy places.
Autism and ASD
A difference in how the nervous system develops that makes communication, speech, and flexible behavior harder for a child.
ASD with Co-occurring Conditions
Autism combined with speech delay, motor difficulties, sensory features, disrupted sleep, or selective eating.
Brachial Plexus Birth Injury
Damage to the brachial plexus nerves, most often during birth: the child's arm moves weakly and falls behind in development.
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Persistent motor impairments caused by brain damage during pregnancy, birth, or the first months of life.
Chewing Difficulties
Weak and poorly coordinated mouth muscles that make chewing hard and delay the move to solid food.
Cognitive Delay
A lag in the pace of development of cognitive functions — attention, memory, thinking, basic concepts — with the developmental potential preserved.
Coordination and Balance Disorders
The child falls often, stands unsteadily, and moves imprecisely and awkwardly.
Depressive Symptoms
Persistently low mood, apathy, and loss of interest in things that used to make the child happy.
Down syndrome
A genetic condition linked to an extra copy of chromosome 21: low muscle tone and an individual pace of mastering movement, speech, and everyday skills.
Drooling
Saliva escaping from the mouth because of weak control of the mouth muscles and rare, poorly coordinated swallowing.
Dysarthria
Slurred, unclear speech caused by disrupted tone and coordination of the muscles responsible for articulation.
Dysphagia
A swallowing disorder: the child chokes while eating or drinking, holds food in the mouth, and eats slowly and with effort.
Echolalia
Repetition of heard words and phrases without a communicative purpose — most often seen in autism spectrum disorders.
Emotional Instability
Sharp mood swings, frequent outbursts and tears: the child finds it hard to return to a calm state on their own.
Enuresis
Involuntary urination, most often at night, in a child over 4–5 years old — when most peers have already developed control.
Facial Nerve Palsy
Weakness of the facial muscles on one side of the face caused by damage to the facial nerve: facial asymmetry, the eye does not close fully.
Fine Motor Weakness
Precise movements of the hands and fingers are hard for the child: grasping, buttons, a spoon, a pencil.
Gait Disorders
Toe walking, an asymmetric step, a waddling gait, and other features of the way a child walks.
Global Developmental Delay
A child lagging behind in several areas of development at once — speech, motor skills, cognition, communication.
Growth Retardation
Falling behind the age norm in height and physical development, often together with general weakness and quick fatigue.
Children at Risk
Infants with developmental risk factors — prematurity, low birth weight, oxygen deprivation at birth. Not a diagnosis yet, but a reason to watch more closely.
Intellectual Disability
A persistent reduction of intellectual functions of varying severity; rehabilitation focuses on developing concrete skills — everyday life, communication, learning readiness.
Motor development delay
A child reaches key motor milestones — rolling over, sitting, crawling, standing, walking — later than peers.
Muscle Tone Disorders
Spasticity, hypotonia, and dystonia — conditions in which a child's muscles stay tense, are too slack, or tighten involuntarily.
Muscle Weakness
Reduced strength in the arms, legs, or trunk: the child tires quickly, is late to reach motor milestones, and struggles to hold posture.
Lack of Eye Contact
The child does not look you in the eye, turns their gaze away, and does not hold it when addressed — one of the earliest signals of communication difficulties.
Lack of Joint Attention
The child does not look where an adult points, does not point themselves, and does not share what has caught their interest.
Absence of speech
A state in which the child does not speak at all or uses an extremely limited set of words.
Obsessions and Rituals
Repetitive actions and rigid rituals that cause the child intense anxiety if they are interrupted.
Oral Hypersensitivity
Heightened sensitivity of the mouth and face: the child avoids touch and accepts only a narrow range of familiar textures.
Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Damage to the nerves of the arms and legs of various origins: muscle weakness, flaccid paresis, reduced sensation.
Consequences of Encephalopathy
Functional consequences of past brain injury — delayed motor and speech development, altered muscle tone, difficulties with learning.
Self-Injurious Behavior
The child hits, bites, scratches themselves or bangs their head — most often this is how they cope with pain, overload, or anxiety.
Sensory Processing Disorder
The brain struggles to combine the senses into one picture: movement, touch, sound, and light feel either far too intense or barely noticeable.
Sleep Disorders
The child takes a long time to fall asleep, wakes often at night, sleeps restlessly, or cries in their sleep.
Social Communication Deficit
The child finds it hard to start contact, sustain a dialogue, and read other people's facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice.
Social Withdrawal
The child avoids communication, prefers to be alone, and becomes anxious in new places and around unfamiliar people.
Speech Development Delay
A child's speech lagging behind age milestones — on its own (speech delay) or together with delayed mental development (mixed speech and mental delay).
Stereotypies
Monotonous repetitive movements, sounds, and rituals: rocking, hand-flapping, toe-walking, lining objects up in a row.
Tactile Sensitivity
Touch is felt far too intensely — or barely at all: the child either avoids contact or constantly seeks strong sensations.
Tics
Sudden repetitive movements or sounds a child can barely control: blinking, grimacing, throat clearing.
Fear of Movement
The child is afraid of swings, slides, jumping, and any situation in which the body changes its position in space.
