In Support of Lauren Lowder
Graham has been through a lot in his short life. After being born prematurely, he developed human parechovirus meningoencephalitis, which resulted in brain injury and ultimately a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Although he has faced some significant challenges, he continues to surprise us with the progress he makes.
We are interested in DMI therapy because his PT and Jarrett and I believe it could give Graham additional opportunities to develop his gross motor skills, strength, balance, coordination, and postural control. He is working hard on skills such as sitting independently, improving his head and trunk control, strengthening his weaker left side, transitioning between positions, and eventually working toward standing and mobility.
One of our biggest goals is to help Graham become as independent as possible. We want to give him every opportunity to strengthen the connections between his brain and body, improve his motor control, and learn how to move and interact with the world around him.
We also recognize that Graham’s visual impairment adds another layer to his developmental challenges. We want therapy that looks at the whole child and helps him build confidence in his ability to move, explore, and participate in everyday activities.
We know there are no guarantees, and we understand that every child progresses differently. However, we don’t want to leave opportunities unexplored. We see how hard Graham works in his current therapies, and we would love to explore whether DMI could complement what he is already doing and help him reach his fullest potential.
