Daniya was diagnosed at five months with a rare seizure disorder called Infantile spasms. The seizures left Daniya with developmental delays in her speech and overall cognitive abilities. At first we tried the EI system of PT, OT, and speech. As time passed I realized valuable time was being wasted. Then when Daniya turned 18 months, a friend told us about The Anat Baniel Method based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais. We gave it a try and my husband and I instantly saw changes in Daniya.
We were encouraged to see Marcy Lindheimer because we were told she was very good with speech. Daniya had nine lessons with Marcy this summer and we were thrilled with the changes in our little girl. She started self feeding, which was so huge because we worked on it for so long without much success. The changes in her speech were very exciting. She started to make different sounds and babble more. By the end of the nine sessions, Daniya had more of a spark in her eye. She showed fear for the first time, and stranger anxiety, she was becoming more aware of her world.
Daniya loved her lessons, and she would show affection to Marcy by snuggling up close to her. She would really pay attention to what Marcy was doing to her body. Our experience with Marcy was amazing.
