1 Year Evaluation! & Easter Picture!



Isabella Jeannette had her 1 year evaluation at the Child Development Center of Natrona County today and it went fantastic!!
It is so hard to believe it’s been a year, it flew by.
I feel so blessed with the team we have there, Kelly, Ivonne & Sandy.
She has made tremendous strides since this time last year, and I couldn’t be prouder of my miracle baby!
Here are the highlights (these reports are long!):
*In the area of gross motor sills, Isabella can sit supported and reach for switch toys. When pulled to sit, she is starting to flex her head forward. When placed on her stomach over a roll, she is starting to lift her head into extension especially when the light box is placed in her visual field.
*In the area of fine motor skills, Isabella is able to hold a placed rattle and move it around, operate a switch toy and bat at toys placed at either side. She recently imitated banging the rattle on the tray and shaking it.
*In the cognitive skills area, Isabella enjoys looking at pictures in books, especially tactile or shiny books. Her favorite toys appear to be sensory toys which move and/or make sounds. Isabella especially enjoys the app her mother has downloaded onto her iPad, which helps with her tracking and reaching skills.
*In the area of social-emotional area, Isabella is very bonded with her parents. She discriminates strangers, responds to voices and turns to her mother’s voice often during therapy sessions.
*Summary- Isabella has been seen for therapy consistently over the past year. Her parents are very involved in providing her with a nurturing and stimulating home environment. Despite medical setbacks, she continues to be a resilient and joyful child who inspires those around her.
And to make my day even better, they told me I was a wonderful mommy. That never gets old to hear.
