Psychiatrist,  's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, he has learning disability. In that case, he needs special educator rather than stem cell treatment. Stem cell has no function in psychological or developmental disorder. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment option. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
