Health and Developmental Concerns - Weigh Smart

Many children who have had excessive weight gain may have other health or developmental issues. We often work with children who have other medical issues including:

• Metabolic issues (such as thyroid issues, or blood sugar issues like pre-diabetes or other endocrine issues)
• Gastrointestinal issues (such as fatty liver, constipation or vitamin or mineral deficiencies)
• Joint pain or orthopedic issues (such as Blount's disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis)
• Sleep issues like obstructive sleep apnea
• Developmental delay
• Prader Willi Syndrome
• Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy
