Lewis's story
Lewis started on MOVE four years ago. He used to
sit in a fully supportive chair and was very
immobile. He had a severe visual impairment and was not happy about moving
about on his own. Lewis is now sitting on an ordinary
classroom chair and can independently manoeuvre himself
in and out of a pacer. He has made such huge progress in
walking that he now only needs handles on his gait trainer. When he
first started using it, he used all of the prompts, most importantly the
saddle as he was learning to take his own weight. Lewis is now out and about in his
gait trainer all of the time and as a direct result
of being able to explore
his environment his eye sight has actually improved! This is something that
no-one ever expected to happen! the MOVE Lewis is a happy and confident boy
who has made enormous progress physically, cognitively and socially.
