Milestone Monday — Penelope

February 16, 2026

Penelope is doing amazing things since starting with VIPS! She is finally tolerating her patch and starting to really use her weaker eye. She is starting to coordinate use of her eyes with her extremities and to look above her head! She is usually very hesitant with new objects and especially new textures, but today she works on orienting a cap correctly, exploring the textures and visual properties of slime, and putting it into the container (visual motor and depth perception!). Great job, Penelope!

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!
