Nothing better than watching Jack skip and do jumping jacks with Ryan, and then Ryan critiquing his form🤣 2nd video Ryan tells Jack he’s going to cry bc he is so proud of Jack for skipping😭❤️ This doesn’t look like much- We dropped the ball on mastering some bilateral coordination skills years ago bc the plateaus were endless while triaging acute illnesses. Back to the drawing board- what we were doing was not working. So Ryan’s docs focused on coordination between body & brain + vision for motor planning the past few weeks. 2 weeks later he got the hang of a bunch of skills & mastered out of all his vision exercises. These bilateral skills using left & right sides of brain will help with writing, all sports & ball skills, tying shoes, confidence, social skills, language etc Even late, it’s still progress. Sometimes the little victories are the biggest. I had no idea in the Army jumping jacks = side straddle hops 🤷‍♀️ #nevergiveup #moreworktodo #neuroplasticity #nolimits . #specialneeds #downsyndrome
