Hi...I have just gone through your son's history in detail.
Suggestions -
1. Seizure control - either with Clonazepam or with Valparin
2. Physiotherapy.
3. Occupational therapy
4. Speech therapy after hearing evaluation.
Developmental delay doesn't have any specific medication to cure. It is only symptom control and developmental assessment and help.
