April 2017

We returned home on 31st of March 2017, after Sai's first clinical evaluation. We were exhausted from the travel and we took a week's break in order to arrange the required things to start his program

We were greatly motivated to start the program as soon as possible. I took some time to bond with Chanakya as I was away from him for 4 full days. Luckily, the milk that I had stored was more than enough for him. So, no formula was required, thank God!

SAI KISHORE

We decided to resume the program slowly as the break had been too long to start an intensive program immediately.

At 31.1 months, his neurological age is 18.52 months. When we evaluated him at home after the WTD course, he was 14.2 months old with neurological age being 5.62 months. From 5.62 months to 18.52 months in approx 17 months is a great achievement for SK considering the fact that I was not able to give him intense therapy for the past few months.

His development profile now looks like this:
