Aria Makes Progress With Aicardi Syndrome

June 16, 2017

Our beautiful daughter Aria was born January 2014 and has kept us very busy as any child does. She has the diagnosis of Aicardi Syndrome, a rare disorder that typically only appears in females since the abnormality occurs in the X-chromosome. This syndrome causes several eye abnormalities along with a lot of other accommodative diagnoses. We sought out VIPS to start school because of all the positive feedback we had received from other families and therapists. We love seeing the progress she has made since being there. Thanks to all the wonderful teachers, assistants, therapists, and anyone else who makes Aria’s day when she is at school.

This is Harvey! He has been crushing his goals lately! His mom, Daisy, has been working on encouraging him to sit independently while using his vision in his lower field. As you can see in the picture, he is pushing his switch to activate his transformer car, which is his favorite toy! This is no small feat for him, as reaching and looking at the same time is challenging. Daisy was so pleased at how well he was able to not only use his vision, but activate his core muscles to remain in a sitting position. We are so proud of Harvey!
