Скачать или смотреть From no head control to independent sitting.

Hi, I’m Dana and I have been a pediatric physical therapist for 25 years. You can read more about my practice at the top of my channel. I see kids for a lot of different disabilities including developmental delay, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, genetic disorders, dystrophies, and more. I cannot give individualized medical advice on social media and you need your doctors permission to try any exercises with your child. A therapist needs to be trained in order to perform these highly skilled exercises.

I see kids for intensives in Cary, North Carolina for 1,2, or 3 weeks for 2 visits per day. We are able to show a lot of progress with our little patients and I share that to bring hope to other parents around the world. You can find booking information at the link at the top of my channel.

The exercises I use are based on Cueves Medek Exercises. We give novel experiences to kids to work on neuroplasticity of the brain which allows us to improve gross motor skills.

I don’t share diagnoses or personal info of each child on my page because kids are defined by their diagnosis. It’s my philosophy and you can read more about it on my website which is linked at the top of my channel.

Last June we met an amazing little boy with such inner strength and grit that each session often brought us to tears.
He had no head control and his family felt hopeless.

At his 2nd AKAP intensive he learned to roll and prop sit with better trunk control.

The truth about kids with disabilities is that no one knows what to expect. There is constant fear about what’s to come.
~
At his third intensive today he learned to sit independently for more than 2 minutes. That fear was replaced by his confidence. It takes bravery to radically accept what’s happening in the present day and today we all got to witness a feat— that healed the uncertainty of the past.

Thank you sweet boy for being our hero. We are a family here at All Kids Are Perfect and today this family of ours is proud.
