Progress made by Kieron at Flitwick
To tell you the truth Andrew and I didn’t expect to see any improvement the first time we visited the Cerebral Palsy Physiotherapy centre.
But Kieron proved us both wrong! Here is a brief summery of what Kieron achieved after each fortnightly session.
May 2006
Kieron’s hands were more relaxed and he was opening his hands more to grasp objects.
He was sitting more and controlling his balance. When propped up he started to put his hands out to stop himself from falling.
August 2006
Kieron started kneeling and balancing with one hand while playing.
His speech improved and he was saying 11 word sentences. “ Mummy, where can we go to make a cup of tea?”
Sat on the seat in the parents room at the centre unaided.
November 2006
Speaking new words. Hurry, where are we? Are we there yet?
Sitting more and controlling his back
February 2007
Could follow vehicles moving across in front of him.
Putting hands out more to stop himself falling when kneeling or sitting
Saying words a lot more clearly so they don’t run into one another.
May 2007
Propping on stomach and lifting his head up
Sitting cross legged at school, unaided for a few minutes
Watch and looking at more things out of the window when travelling in the car
Keeping balance when sitting on a ball and regaining balance if it wobbles!
Saying clearer sentences with a louder voice when in familiar surroundings
As you can see, each time Kieron has achieved something different, however small or he’s worked on a previous achievement to improve it. We can’t wait to see what will happen after his next visit!
