Answer

Are there government schemes for a child with hypotonia?

Yes — children with hypotonia (low muscle tone) can access Indian government disability support through a UDID disability certificate, the ADIP assistive-device scheme, Niramaya health insurance and early-intervention programmes like RBSK. Eligibility follows clinical certification of the underlying condition and degree of disability, not the word 'hypotonia' alone.
