Noah is a VERY smart boy!! He has really amazed me with his intellect, and I feel I should spend a moment telling you a bit about it. Noah communicates with us through facilitated communication -- he uses his finger to spell out words with a little bit of help to pull his hand away from the board.
The first thing he said was a couple months before he turned three. He was asked the question, "Is your intellectual program going well?" His answer, "I am a very smart boy!"
He can currently speed read some pretty amazing information, and is currently working on Algebra -- and getting it very quickly. And yes, he was four this past December.
This is one of the best parts of the Institute's program, and the only program I have ever heard of doing intellectual programs with small brain-injured children.
Noah's army is a group of volunteers united in doing a program that will give Noah the best chance he has for reaching his potential. Come by any time for news on his progress and to see pictures of him and his brother.
Prayer Requests
UPDATED 08/20/12
1. Please pray that we can continue to get our new house set up for all of Noah's needs and that we can find all the volunteers we needs to do Noah's program (this is always a big, slow process when we move).
3. Our other big request is for Noah's hip. Noah's out-of-joint left hip is really holding him back. He needs range of motion, and he needs the muscles that are too tight to loosen up and the loose muscles to tighten up and get bigger. Pray for a new type of physical therapy we are started specifically to help the hip.
