Therapy for Spastic Blind Child?

[dmpedneuro]

Hi, I am treating a spastic Double hemiplegic child with birth history of prematurity (7 months) who also has associated congenital blindness (probably due to retinopathy of prematurity). Presently the child is 1yr 2 mths old, though still does not right the head when held in upright position. She occasionally lifts head when in prone on forearm while reaching up with one hand but does not sustain it.

I had been trying to use NDT .... but am STUCK UP .... as don't understand how to encourage/ motivate the child to right her head without important visual feedback. As the parents of the child are very desperate .... I implore you to please help me with any suggestions. Thanking u in anticipation.
