Today, Roa, my sister Ellen, and I are off to check out a new center that is in Burnsville, MN called the Plus Center. They specialize in a therapy for children with cerebral palsy called Conductive Education. Ors, the owner and main "conductor" at the center is from Hungary where this method was developed. One of my mom friends on Facebook sent me a link about Hungary's special therapy and under some strange direction from God, I found a center right here in Minnesota! Crazy!
We are just going for a tour. Ors reported that they mainly serve school age children around 5-8 years old, but they would love to have Roa and I join them 2-3 times a week. Who knows....
I added the link in interested! http://www.pluscenter.org/
Our session with Neue the Anat Baniel Method practioner went well! She gives me more insight on helping Roa with body awareness, movement on the floor, and hopefully, we will get him rolling over to his tummy soon! We have another session later today with Neue!
Gotta run, Roa needs breakfast!

SHHHH... Listen.
Another mom shared this on her blog. It really says it all. Thanks, Owen, for bringing it to Rojo!
LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me --
Anything can happen, child
ANYTHING can be.

ABM therapy today
Read this article if interested about ABM--
http://www.anatbanielmethod.com/articles/New_Possib_Massage_therapy_mag.pdf
Today is a new day! We are starting our ABM therapy with Neue in 20 minutes and I am very excited to give it a try. Anat Baniel and her method of motor skill improvements in children with special needs really makes sense to me. The natural gentle approach calls to us as parents. Plus, what do we have to lose! We feel it was another one of "God's plan" moments to have the one and only ABM trained therapist in the Twin Cities willing to travel here to White Bear Lake weekly to help me work with our Roa. I will keep you updated on our progress in this new journey.
All roads lead to improvement... independence...growth...
