Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
If such a child is brought to my clinic I would like to go for neuro imaging MRI to look for the cause of spasticity and developmental delay. Especially when there is a history in the other sibling.
I would suggest you see a paediatric neurologist for the diagnosis. Also both the children should be put on appropriate developmental therapy.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
