One on one therapy

While at his center, Andrew received a lot of one on one therapy. His therapist were so wonderful and make such a difference!
Kori
With his play therapist, Andrew started to play with cars the proper way (he used to throw cars across the room). He also learned to stack blocks, do simple puzzles and appreciate bubbles. Kori was such a joy, both for Andrew and for me. She gave me so much hope! Thank you Kori!

Maria
With his occupational therapist, Andrew was able to chew more foods. Before, I had to mash every food because he could not stand any texture. He still has issue with food texture and color. We are still working on it. Since Andrew is under reactive, he seeks constant movement to stimulate himself. Still to this date, he jumps when he watches television or when something is exciting to him. His therapist worked with him on issues such as touching certain textures that would be repulsive to him: dry sand, playdoh, wet sand, finger paint. Andrew still does not like his fingers to be dirty or wet. he is starting to tolerate more finger paint. Thank you Maria!

Stacey
With his speech therapist, Andrew started saying his first words: mama, ball, car, cat. Stacey has been incredible with him. I never thought Andrew would ever speak one day, and then suddenly by the time he was two years old, he could say 4 words, including "mama". Thank you Stacey!
I was overjoyed.
