Today we celebrated two amazing girls completing their intensive programs…Ella & Raya!🎉

Over the past three weeks, they both worked incredibly hard and made amazing progress. We are so proud of their dedication and the hard work they showed up with each day!

Ella’s Progress:

Improved standing balance ➡️allows Ella to stand with less support and maintain brief independent standing.

Increased walking stability ➡️ taking multiple steps with minimal assistance.

First independent steps ➡️taking a few steps toward mom, Scarlet, on her own!

Greater mobility ➡️helping her participate more in standing and walking activities and move more independently at home and in the community!

Raya’s Progress:

Increased strength, coordination, and balance ➡️running short distances both on the floor and on the treadmill!

Improved endurance and motor control helps her stay active during play and daily activities!

Greater communication confidence ➡️helping her communicate and participate more in therapy and everyday routines

Increased independence in self-care ➡️ now putting on her pants independently in the morning!

We are so proud of you, Ella and Raya!

Your hard work truly paid off and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you continue to accomplish! 💙

Sunday was a great day at Sibshops! 🌟

We kicked things off by making customized crowns that the sibs later used during our scavenger hunt. From there, we spent some time talking about siblings and disabilities. The sibs shared stories about their families and experiences, and it was really special to see how openly they supported and encouraged one another!!!

They paired up to work through a worksheet covering family dynamics, their relationships with their siblings, and their understanding of disabilities. Their thoughtful answers showed just how much care they have for their families and each other.

Next, the energy picked up with a few rounds of Let’s Play Zoo before we split into teams for the leprechaun scavenger hunt around Breakthrough. Team Chlorine and Team Chance worked together in their “blob scavenger hunt” groups, collaborating, listening, and cheering each other on along the way.

Pizza arrived right on time, and lunch quickly turned into a fun time for the sibs to talk about school, activities, and shared interests. A few even discovered their siblings go to school together!

In the afternoon, the sibs completed a Dream Day worksheet, designing schedules for their ideal day, full of creativity and big ideas.

We wrapped up the day with a few rounds of Detective to get everyone moving before closing with our traditional Rose and Thorn reflection.

It was a day filled with connection, teamwork, and plenty of laughter. We’re so proud of this amazing group of sibs and can’t wait for the next Sibshops! 💛

We celebrated a huge moment for Raya last week! 💙

Raya has been crushing her intensive program, and last week she reached an incredible milestone…she pulled up her pants independently!

When Raya’s mom, Elena, first shared her hopes with us, she talked about wanting Raya to grow stronger from the ground up…building core strength, balance, and coordination so Raya could feel more confident in her own abilities.

She also shared that as Raya’s body grows stronger, she believes it will support growth in other areas too, including speech and overall development.

Raya loves to move and be active, and every bit of strength she builds opens the door to doing more on her own!!

We are so proud of you, Raya! 👏

After completing an intensive program at Breakthrough, Charley has gained strength, independence, and confidence…unlocking new abilities and bringing hope and encouragement to the whole family. 💚

For Crystal, the journey has been about more than progress in therapy, it’s the guidance, support, and family-like community at Breakthrough that has made all the difference.

Stories like Charley’s remind us why we do what we do: helping kids grow, thrive, and feel at home!

“It wasn’t really until I walked in the door, and we were received like family, that really did it. Even Molly coming with me, she can’t believe these people that you’ve never even met before and they just welcome you.

It’s really good to see that because there’s a lot of the times that people with disabilities, especially Charley, she’s so social, and she is just not welcomed or included in things because she can’t physically do it.

So she has to sit on the side and it was just nice to see her get excited about doing things that she couldn’t do on her own”.

Spring is here, and so is our March Client of the Month: Ella! 🌸

When Ella first came to Breakthrough, she needed support to sit, move, and explore her world.

Her parents, Scarlet and Matt, had been advocating for her and were determined to help her reach her full potential.

When Ella first started coming to Breakthrough, she could only sit for a few seconds with support. Crawling, standing, and moving freely were still big challenges.

Now Ella can:

➡️Sit up independently
➡️Crawl on flat surfaces and different heights
➡️Move confidently into hands-and-knees positions
➡️Almost stand and walk on her own

With each milestone, Ella’s confidence has soared. She’s eager to try new things, explore her world, and show just how capable she is.

For Scarlet and Matt, this means they can see their daughter play, have more independence, and explore her surroundings with greater confidence!

Congratulations, Ella on being our March client of the month! We can’t wait to see what is next in your story! 🥰

Jackson did some really incredible work during one of his most recent sessions!

He walked across the gym using walking sticks with SO much confidence !! 👏

Jackson’s confidence has grown so much in the time we have known him, and it is amazing to see him take on an exercise like this with such excitement and determination! 💙
