Kid behavior issues

Asked for Female, 31 Years

Hi, my son has been diagnosed as downs syndrome after birth...he is now 4+ age.. we have tried OT and BT from past 1year but did not see any difference. He is little hyper, does not have eye contact and sitting tolerance. Health wise he is good and also walks well and does what ever he like. Communicates with actions but verbal communication is not there. Now a days we see that he says bababa sounds.. fearing that will he be able to speak or not. Which doctor we should go to also we are not sure... need further suggestions from experts like you all...Do we have any medications for Downs syndrome.. Do we need to visit any neurologist? please suggest further.
