Conductive Education of Northwest Arkansas
Through CENA, children with motor disorders or disabilities originating from the central nervous system, such as cerebral palsy, are given the chance to develop from an educational perspective. While most children with these disabilities are only aided through therapeutic means, children who attend CENA also learn problem-solving skills and gain independence. CENA's goal is to challenge children with motor disorders to reach their highest potential and simply accomplish more.
Hunter's Story
"Our son Hunter was born in August of 2001, 14 weeks premature. At two pounds, three ounces, our bundle of joy struggled each day to live. After 10 weeks in the NICU he was finally big enough and strong enough to leave the hospital. We were beyond excited to finally have him home."
Hunter began traditional physical and occupational therapies almost immediately upon arriving home at Easter Seals, an excellent program in Little Rock, Arkansas. His progress was good but after two and a half years we believed he could do more. In March of 2004, we discovered a program for children with motor disorders called Conductive Education. In April of 2004, after many hours of research we moved from Little Rock to northwest Arkansas so that Hunter could attend Conductive Education full-time.
Hunter has now been in the program almost a year and a half and his progress has been amazing. He is able to accomplish tasks he could not even attempt before beginning the program. He can sit independently longer than ever before He continues to make wonderful progress walking with an assisted device and he gets up everyday excited about taking another step! He is blooming and we are thrilled!
Needless to say, Conductive Education of Northwest Arkansas has had a dramatic impact on his life and ours.
