Battling Cerebral Palsy: Raphael & Gabriel's Story

Raphael, Gabriel and Michael are triplets who were affected with various degrees of CP due to a premature birthing. Government funding for Raphael and Gabriel allowed the Buettner family to come to the Spiral Movement Center to receive somatic treatment for their CP. Raphael was wheelchair-bound and was unable to move due to severe contractures of all his limbs; Gabriel had CP mostly on the right side of his body which limited his ability to use his right hand.
This video documents how children with CP can make physical progress when they undergo holistic, individually-tailored motor programs which promote physical awareness, experiential exploration and play. It also shows how the effort and total commitment of determined parents can motivate children to overcome the greatest challenges in life. ❤️
Adapted Spiral Praxis is a development motor curriculum that can help children with special needs/disabilities blossom to their full potential. For more information visit the soon-to-be-launched website www.adaptedspiralpraxis.com.

These little boys are so happy and enjoy life. They are lucky to have the best mom in the world to love and work with them. She is a very determined, yet gentle woman and she has infinite patience. She also has the other triplet and a toddler now as well as Raphael and Gabriel. I was privileged to work with them when they first came home from NICU.

Maybe you should put a picture board Of all his favorite things and all he has to do is make a "yes" look if you point to something that he wants.❤️
