Preston using a walker!   Message List

Re: [cerebral_palsy_support] (unknown)

Have you tried the EI program in your state?
I don't kow how the Early Intervention programs operate in Chicago, but I found the state phone number for it.  You may want to give them a call if you haven't already.
 
Illinois Department of Early Intervention 217-782-1981
 
Preston was in the Early Childhood Intervention program here in Texas.  They provided his therapy free of charge and came to the home.  It was a God send.  It's something that's far too important to wait for.
 
Hope this helps.

My 2 year old with CP's name is Georgie. He can't sit or walk yet. I also have a 4 month old named Santino. He is supposed to get therapy soon from Easter Seals. He had therapy before but when I moved to a suburb it got all messed up. Any advice is greatly apprecaited. Thanks.

Hi Cynthia,
 
Preston's 3.  At 2 he had just learned to sit up on his own.  I loved the Bumbo chair when he had one!  It was so helpful in keeping him upright.  I also put him in his infant walker and jumperoo a lot to keep him upright and on his feet.  Where are you from Cynthia?

try it out. He was able to walk about 27 feet holding onto just the
walker! The PT was moving it forward for him, but he held on and
took the steps! I'm so proud of him. I'll try to take pictures of
it, soon.
