Hi my name is Leona.  The picture above is of my daughter Anna who is going to be two in April.  Anna has 1 p 36 deletion syndrome.  So she is delayed in all areas.  She has all kinds of therapies and is a real champ with them all. 

I look forward to getting to know everyone in the group.

Hi, my name is Gretchen, mom to 5.  My youngest son is Simon and he has Pallister-Killian Syndrome (a mosaic tetrasomy of the short arm of chromosome 12)  He has vision and hearing impairment, seizures,  cognitive and developmental delays and low muscle tone.  Right now he gets vision, hearing, occupational and physical therapies and we're just starting speech.  We hope he'll start school in May or June as I know the stimulation and consistent work with him will help him so much.  Looking forward to meeting all of you!

once my son entered school is when he started really growing with all his skills,its great that your son will be starting school soon. i found with my son that someone on the out side could help him better than i could, it is still that way.we are close don't get me wrong but  they can get more out of him for some reason
good luck,he will do fine
