Our Stories

When our son, Maddox, was born, there were so many medical terms that were told to us by doctors and specialists. There were words like ‘cardiology’, ‘neurology’, ‘genetics’, ‘chromosome deletion’, ‘arthrogryposis’, ‘clubbed feet’, and ‘speech delay’. These were words that we had almost no knowledge of, but somehow they became integral in the lives of every member of our family. The specialists gave us very few definitive answers to our questions about what to expect of our son. Consequently, we didn’t expect anything of him. We never expected him to be a normal child that walks, runs, jumps, communicates, feeds himself, drinks from a cup, plays with toys or has any use of his hands.

So, how has Liberty POST helped our family? Liberty POST helped us to expect anything of our son and that he is capable of doing so much more than we ever imagined. We cannot express how much our lives have been made better because of Liberty POST. Liberty POST has encouraged him and given him the confidence to work hard and succeed in his attempts to do the things expected of any child. Maddox is walking, running, jumping, communicating, feeding himself, drinking from a cup, playing and using his hands to perform everyday tasks. Additionally, through the Group Sessions at Liberty POST, Maddox has become more social and less afraid of other people. He interacts and plays with everyone and is not dependent on us to be present. We thank Liberty POST for helping our son to surpass our expectations and for helping our family to believe that Maddox can achieve anything and will have a great future in spite of his disabilities.
