Children Making Progress at Home
This quarter, our focus shifted from training caregivers to supporting them as they apply rehabilitation practices at home. With continued follow-up and guidance, families are beginning to see real changes in their children’s lives.
Caregivers are now more confident in supporting daily exercises, positioning, feeding, and mobility—leading to noticeable improvements in children’s development.
What Has Changed
Stories of Change
Nathan’s Story
Amina struggled with poor head control and could not sit without support. After her mother consistently practiced positioning and strengthening exercises at home, Amina can now hold her head steady and sit with minimal support. She is more active and engaged during play.
Brian’s Story
Brian had difficulty feeding and often choked due to poor positioning. Through caregiver training and follow-up support, his mother improved how she feeds him. Today, Brian feeds more safely and comfortably, reducing health risks and stress for his family.
Challenges
What’s Next
We will continue strengthening follow-up support and begin the next training module to deepen caregiver skills.
