This girl has been working so hard. She has had a mix of feeding, physical, and occupational therapies for 4 hours a day, 5 days this week. According to one of our therapists; her motor planning has improved, she mostly just lacks the strength and control to do certain things. So they have been doing tons of muscle strengthening and repetition exercises to help with everything from crawling, walking and sitting. All of these exercises will help with head, trunk, and muscle control.

This week they have been using a "Gait trainer". This is a walker-like device that can help strengthen muscles and improve balance. This is just one of the many tools they have been using over this intensive to help Elaine "take her next steps forward":-) these intensives will start to be 3 times a year, and any help that can be given would be much appreciated.  Something as simple as a share and a post would help immensely. Thank you to those who have already helped. This intensive was sponsored by an incredibly kind and generous family who wishes to remain anonymous and we thank you from the bottom of our heart.
