Ros training

Part of Ros training is the eating and drinking. It takes a lot of time and Ros is making huge progress. From being totally tube-fed, exept for some milk in the mouth that she has always had, since birth and some spoons of different things now and then with much effort, Ros is now able to eat two of her meals directly in the mouth. Every day if it is not a bad day. And even drink some smoothies from a bottle. Swallowing liquids is much more difficult than eating thicker things. But we are training the drinking with a little cup and soon that will be easier too.

It is truly magical.

The other training Ros is doing is visual, tactile, auditorial and physical in many different ways. We are training the light reflex and the convergence of the eyes. We are training her with tactile stimulation in various ways to make her conscious of her body and have the right reactions.

We train her hearing and differentiation of sounds. We are doing patterning to give her brain the right signals for crawling, by moving the body for Ros.

Ros is doing the inclined floor and in not so very, very long we will see her really move her arms and legs well on the inclined floor.

Thanks to a very good nutritional program Ros is getting the best food ever and is getting slimmer, which is wonderful for her. It makes it much easier to move her body and enjoy it!

The masking is a very important part of the programs and is truly making an immense difference for Ros. Her seizures are now much fewer than a month ago and she is starting to use her voice more and more. That is the beginning of what is called talking...

Ros spends most time on the floor and has checker-board walls around her for the best stimulation. It is great to be alive.
