Physiological and Social Development

Another Story Blind & Deaf - "Grown three months neurologi-cally in just three months! ."

Read in this testimony of the physiological and social development of Isaac Greebel what a difference can be made in a child's life by the remarkable staff and programs at Family Hope Center.

Isaac Greebel
The Family Hope Center has always been and continues to be an incredible support system for our son, Isaac, and our entire family. From the moment we met Matthew and Carol, when Isaac was just 3 ½ months old, their generosity and enthusiasm for working with us to help make Isaac well has been never-ending. The entire extended staff at the FHC is warm, always helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Isaac began working with Matt and Carol six years ago, and since then Isaac has progressed developmentally in all areas. Their incredible knowledge about the brain helped us to understand the origin of Isaac’s many difficulties, as well as how to get on the road to making him well. We were taught programs to intensely stimulate Isaac in the areas of sensory, physical, cognitive, physiological and social development. We were given guidance on nutrition and health care as well. They were always available to help us work out the kinks in our program or to cheer for Isaac when he reached a goal. Isaac reached so many goals...walking, running, reading and talking...things we were told were impossible for him to achieve.

This past year Isaac entered public school, and Matt and Carol were helpful with that transition as well. They participated in a conference call to assist his teachers in developing a proper program for Isaac. They graciously offered to be of help whenever needed.

Over the years we have mutually shared information about new therapies, and Matt and Carol were always willing to explore and to learn.  We continue to be involved at The FHC as now we may decide to home school Isaac, but we are comforted by the fact that The FHC will be there to support and guide us. They truly are a part of our family and we love them!
