Tara’s Story
Born 6 weeks early and only weighing in at 3lb 10, Tara was resuscitated twice and tube fed. Parents started noticing problems from roughly 6 month of age but it wasn’t until she turned 2 yrs old that Tara was formally diagnosed with diplegic Cerebral palsy as a result of bilateral Schizencephaly.
Tara is non-verbal and uses Makaton to help her communicate. She is an inquisitive little girl who loves to learn and do things for herself. Tara’s main goal is to be able to stand and walk independently. She is currently able to walk using a Kaye walker, and she continues to work very hard every week to maintain her independence to the highest standard possible.
