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!
