Sam is currently looking forward to his first trip to a TheraSuit clinic in December. The pioneering TheraSuit Method(c) offers therapy designed specifically for children with Cerebral Palsy. Each training lasts one month, four hours a day, at a state-of-the-art facility in Keego Harbor, Michigan.


Sam also receives ongoing physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as hippotherapy and conductive education. (Hippotherapy is a complete strategy that uses horseback riding to provide graded sensory input and processing. Conductive education is a system developed to meet the needs of children with motor disorders like Cerebral Palsy. It treats the child as a unified whole.)


In addition, Sam meets with medical specialists throughout New England and uses specialized equipment to support his physical development. He is a busy boy.


We hope you will continue to follow Sam as he learns and grows.
