Milestone Achievers
Milestones help measure the healthy development of a child. When a child continues to miss a milestone, Bryan Pediatric Rehab Services is here to help. Our team of physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech language pathologists provide children and their families with guidance, therapies and steps to reach their milestones. Not only that we find a way to make reaching milestones fun for each child! We celebrate a patient that has made great strides due to their efforts and the care and support of our therapists.
Tayla
Meet our newest Milestone Achiever, Tayla!
When Tayla began therapy at 13 months, standing felt impossible. Because of vascular dystrophy and joint hypermobility, she struggled to crawl, pull herself up to stand or take steps.
Now at 16 months, she’s pulling up on her own, cruising along furniture, balancing for up to 30 seconds and even taking her very first steps!
Looking ahead, Tayla’s goals include walking more on her own. She wants to build her strength, balance and improve her ability to navigate stairs.
She shines in therapy with her love for bubbles, gumball machine toys and bean bag frogs.
Way to go, Tayla!
Logan
Meet our newest Milestone Achiever, Logan!
When Logan started physical therapy at nine months old, he struggled to sit up by himself. But with hard work and our therapists' guidance, he soon learned to sit on his own and even reach and play with toys.
Now, Logan is pulling himself up to his knees and beginning to crawl. He can even stand on his own for over an impressive eight minutes! His progress and determination inspire all of us.
Keep reaching new heights, Logan!
