Hydrocephaly is usually (not always) the result of an anatomical
abberation(sp). If it is severe enough, they will put a shunt from the
ventrical to the abdominal cavity. Usually, these children development
motor problems similar to (and usually diagnosed as) cerebral palsy. In
that case, they may want to check out either occupational and/or physical
therapists in your area who specialize in working with infants. Some
training they might look for is : NDT (NeuroDevelopmental Technique) and
a 3 week Baby course.
