Emilee is a happy and outgoing 7-year-old girl. She absolutely loves this time of year as it reflects her joyful personality. She is very vocal about all things Christmas, from the store window decorations, to seeing snowmen in yards and decorating at home with her family. Emilee loves music, dancing and playing pretend, and chances are she will receive another beloved Barbie for her collection this year. The early snowfall delighted Emilee and was like an early gift for her! Sandy, her mom, enjoyed watching Emilee build snowballs and snowmen with her older sister. It was a moment that was hard to imagine when Emilee first began
Early Intervention services.
Born with a chromosome deletion, hearing loss, small kidneys and a developmental delay. Emilee learned to walk, talk and eat with the help of Easterseals. While small for her age and slow to gain weight, these services helped her reach developmental milestones such as sitting up at 1 and walking at 2 1/2-years-old.
Sandy shares, “Emilee has grown so much since starting with Easterseals. Early Intervention makes all the difference in the world! The earlier, the better. It gives the child the most benefit to grow and achieve great things. Emilee would not be where she is without (her therapists)."
