Henry Spencer and The Scotson Technique

Henry on his visit to the Advance Centre, East Grinstead

Our son Henry was born by emergency c-section on 22nd December 2008, he was severely distressed and immediately taken to be resuscitated. Later on that day Henry suffered multiple seizures. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. As time went on he developed severe gastric reflux.

Henry clearly had developmental issues as he could not even hold his head up at just under two years old. He was on 3 different seizure meds and still had 20 or more seizures a day, his quality of life was very poor. By chance via a work colleague we found out about the Advance Clinic. As soon as we could we took Henry up to Advance, our first visit was in October 2010. Within 3 months of starting the Scotson Technique we were able to wean Henry off of all of his seizure meds and get him seizure free for the first time. He continues to make progress in other areas, he holds his head up, is much more alert, his posture is much better, reflux has dramatically improved and after only ever drinking from a bottle is now starting to eat off of a spoon.

After being told by doctors that Henry would be severely disabled and his future uncertain, thanks to Linda Scotson and the Advance Clinic we now have hope.
