Kieran‘s Story
| Kieran’s first Intensive Therapy Session…Kieran is just wrapping up his first Intensive Therapy session this week. Since his Intensive start 3 weeks ago he has made noticeable improvements. However, the bigger aspect is, that since his start at NAPA in November, he has made huge strides, figuratively and literally. For a child that was not expected to do much more than an infant would, he has gained extremely good head control, been able to learn to control his arms and has started holding a spoon and getting food pretty darn close to his mouth! And, he has been able to take strides across the treadmill, and even across the room, with assistance. We are extremely excited about the addition of another therepy, Cuevas Medek, into the NAPA plethora of specialty therapies, as CME seems to concentrate on developing Kieran’s core strength, sitting and balance. He still has a difficult time with this now, but we are confident that NAPA will get him over that hurdle by the end of summer. All of the techniques, devices and expert therapists that NAPA has available at the center are such a benefit. Since starting here, we have discovered so many other therapies that NAPA offers, and been able to network with other parents of children with similar issues. We have high hopes for his progress over the next year! |
Stella’s First NAPA Session
| In our first NAPA session she learned to sit up..I am eternally thankful and grateful for The NAPA Center! When Stella first attended The NAPA Center, she learned to sit up on her own after a 3 week session. It was amazing! It was a adjustment for her at first to discover new movements with her body, but she easily adapted to the exercises, Neuro Suit Therapy, and the caring Therapists at Napa. Stella has attended many more sessions since then, and has always accomplish something new after each session. She is now taking steps with some assistance and has learned to balance and crawl on her own. Stella has gained more strength and has self confidence to achieve anything. We are truly bless to have found Napa. |
Anything is Possible for Levi
| In the N.I.C.U., I was told that Levi would never walk or talk. I refused to believe them, and when Levi was 10 months old we discovered this wonderful therapy clinic by the name of NAPA Center. From the moment Levi started his therapy here, his destiny changed. The therapists at NAPA Center are truly passionate about what they do. And no matter how severe the child is, they believe the child will surpass any limitations put on them. The NAPA Center is very family based and I’m so grateful for the lifelong bonds we have made with the other parents here. This is not an experience families can do alone, and we all support one another. I know for Levi, the road ahead is long, but the incredible progress he has made here gives me real hope that anything is possible. -Jen & Levi Straiton |
