A couple of weeks ago, Caden's OT decided that all of his upper body strength training was paying off, and she let him try out the rock wall in a therapy session. Caden made it about 2 feet off the ground, and then maneuvered his way about 4 feet to the right, then down, up and back again. While the space covered was small, it was a huge accomplishment in terms of strength and motor planning. As you can see on the left, he is now reaching new heights!
Caden's story was included in the UMDNJ magazine's Spring issue on the brain. The interview was conducted in late January/early February, and the photo taken in March. It is truly amazing how far he has come and how hard he works to get better every day.
