Wyatt is a child with a lot of energy. He is very handsome with long hair and a beautiful smile. He loves music and anything that makes noise around him. He thoroughly enjoys interacting with people who talk to him and will make noise in response to them. He loves many activities including the trampoline, swings, going for a walk, and playing with other children.

A therapist works with him weekly. He presents with many neuromuscular deficits that impact his ability to move his arms. He is able to move his left arm a little to touch objects; however, he does not pick up and hold objects yet. Movement is also limited in both legs, with his right leg having less mobility. He is unable to sit, stand or walk. He is able to hold his head up for short periods of time; however, he is making great progress with this. Wyatt is extremely motived during his therapy sessions.

Cognitively, he is extremely aware and currently does very well in school. He knows shapes, colors, some letters and numbers. He can identify them and answer questions using eye gaze with 2 choices. He loves to laugh at kids when they are running around. Sensory materials and adapted activities are helpful in school to further develop his academic abilities.
