Santi is 7 years old and currently working on strengthening his core, improving head control, and increasing lower extremity strength. He is also focusing on the development of fine motor skills and participating in feeding therapy to support the initiation of oral intake. During therapy, Santi has accomplished being able to recieve communion for his First Communion! He has improved sitting tolerance and is becoming more comfortable with food textures. In feeding therapy, he has progressed to eating Lay's potato chips!

Since Santi has tried the adaptive bike during therapy, he continues to ask to go on bike rides at home! Now this is possible! This allows family walks and bike rides to be more inclusive. The adaptive bike also promotes physical development by helping to strengthen his legs and increasing movement. His family and friends will continue to cheer him on by shouting, "Go Santi, Go" while he is riding!
