I have a 7 year old stepdaughter with Arthrogryposis. She has learned to walk with the help of splints and can write beautifully. She just needs help with fine motor skill tasks (buttoning etc). We have a checkup with her neurologist this afternoon. Trying to make a list of questions. Please help!

Hi @aholcomb,

Thank you so much for sharing! It's wonderful to hear how far your stepdaughter has come, what a strong and determined little girl! 💪 This post may have slipped under the radar for some members, so I’m bringing it back up in case others have thoughts or experiences to share. 😊 Your question is such an important one, and I’m sure many caregivers here have faced similar moments before a specialist appointment.

To help get the conversation going, has anyone else had experience supporting a child with arthrogryposis?

What kinds of questions did you find helpful to ask your neurologist, especially around mobility, motor skills, or future development?
