Bryson’s Ongoing DMI Intensive Therapy Fund

Our son Bryson is charming, loves to laugh, enjoys popsicles, and has Cerebral Palsy - a congenital disorder of movement, muscle tone, or posture caused by abnormal brain development prior to birth. Bryson was born 4 weeks early and spent 10 days in the NICU. After coming home, he struggled with reflux and digestion, as well as uncontrolled movements. When Bryson was 6 months old, we started weekly OT and PT therapies. After numerous tests and visits with specialists, Bryson was officially diagnosed with CP at 11 months of age. Our journey has been challenging and we continue to do everything within our abilities to provide the best care possible for our son.

As we all know, the first few years are critical for a child’s general development and building neural pathways. Early intervention and focused therapies are key for this developmental growth. We are raising funds to pay for a 2-week intensive Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) therapy program. We feel these types of intensive programs will help Bryson achieve independence faster than just traditional therapies. Intensive programs can help to facilitate new neural pathways that would ultimately help him with his motor development needs. During the program we hope to learn from the professionals how to implement the exercises at home, so we can continue to provide the best care for Bryson going forward.

Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover this DMI program. We are paying for therapy, travel expenses and lodging on our own, because we want Bryson to have access to this life-changing program. We would greatly appreciate any assistance with these expenses. Any extra funds would go towards future programs and needs for Bryson.

Love,

Amanda, Chris and Bryson
