But thanks to the team at NeuroGen, and the Intellectual Disability Treatment through cell therapy our daughter is leading a new life all over again. She has become so adaptable and can reason out things on her own. Her concentration levels have improved. Her eating habits have changed and today she is less choosy of what she wants to eat. Earlier she disliked wearing accessories like bangles but now she is more than happy to wear and flaunt them. Adding to that, all her physical conditions like body stiffness have improved. We are happy that she is rediscovering the life of normal childhood, a beautiful realization she missed all these years. Her life story have inspired, strengthened and instilled more value in us as parents. We are proud that she was born to us.”
