Colin is a spirited 5-year-old boy navigating the challenges of Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy. His therapy journey is focused on building strength, enhancing balance, and improving mobility, all in pursuit of a life where he can joyfully keep pace with his peers and siblings. His goals are:
-Mastering the art of stepping over obstacles without tumbling. Colin dreams of independently reaching the playground at school, where a surrounding bumper currently requires him to seek assistance from teachers. He also aims to confidently maintain his balance on uneven surfaces.
-Learning to rise from the floor safely and swiftly—Colin often finds his fingers in harm’s way, as he struggles to stand without using his hands or doing so quickly.
-Developing the ability to lift his feet while walking and improving his proprioception—Colin’s lack of awareness about his foot placement leads to frequent falls.
Thanks to a generous grant from MPFC, Colin is embarking on DMI therapy to help him achieve these vital goals.
