When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

Suceess varies with individual. When my young man was an eight year old he couldn’t catch a ball. He was just a target of the ball flying at him. Let alone getting the ball or hitting with a bat, it was such a hard task.

We found out he had visual processing issues and those exercises helped him be more visual.

Even today he can’t run and catch a ball or kick a soccer ball with full strength. But he can hit a ball and make baskets.

Yes, as husband and wife we both were successful in finding the cause for his problem and him successful in learning a skill.

He couldn’t make a jigsaw puzzle until he was 12 or 13. But now he can spend his time doing puzzles on his tablet.

Yes, the word success I always associate with my young man who had multiple struggles as a little boy. he continues to have struggles and every task we achieve is celebrated so much.

These pictures are more than 15 years old! We have come a long way.

We didn’t travel places or have vacations. We worked with him so much even my parents and my father in law were worried about us. I remember a time my mom got me a silk saree and I was not even interested in looking at it as I was involved in therapies. My father in law pointed that we need to spend more time with our younger child. Ha, memories but today looking back, we were young and could do all that. Can’t do what we did then now. 😊
