Time To Get Kyle Some More Help

Posted by Melissa | Filed under Appointments, Gaucher Disease

It’s no secret that Kyle is developmentally behind, and with his first birthday fast approaching, I think it’s time to get him some real help so he can get on track.

When I spoke to one of Kyle’s specialists about physical therapy and the like for Kyle, he said we could look into that if we wanted to, but suggested we just wait and see how treatment does. Typically, he can and will catch up with treatment, but there’s no reason why I can’t help him along.

My sister-in-law works at our local health center, and she told me about a program called Pathways and suggested that I look into it after I mentioned my concerns to her.

Well this morning, I finally did, and I am surprised by how many programs they have available for children with special needs. So I sent an email off to the early years department explaining Kyle’s situation and asking how I go about getting Kyle started in their programs.

I really think he will benefit from Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, as well as some of the others. There’s only so much I can do with him, and because I really don’t know what I should be doing to help him make progress, it’s time to find the right people who can.

I will post an update once I hear back from someone :-)

    Pathways is a great organization. We had Brandon in their speech classes when he was falling behind. I don’t know that they helped him with his speech, but in the end they were great people and he enjoyed going, they are very helpfull. Sydney will be going there soon for some sort of test as well. Good luck with it, i’m sure Kyle will do great!
