Hi Tiffany, I got your comment on Romy's blog about 'The Breakfast Club' group she's in. I found out about it from one of her occupational therapists. They hold it at the local hospital in a classroom type of setting. Maybe you could ask the feeding clinic Randy goes to if they know of any such program. I really hope you can find one in your area. Although Romy has only been in the group for a few weeks, I can see some progress. I'll be crossing my fingers for you guys!
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's achieving most of his short term goals! That's good!! The long term ones will come with time!! But that's awesome that he's using a walker and is able to get around in it!! Good for him!! :-)
