As an educator, I was blessed to meet this amazing girl who changed my life in so many ways 5 years ago. As a toddler Goldy didn’t meet any of the milestones that a typical child would, causing her to be extremely limited both physically and mentally due to her diagnosis. Academically, I took the challenge myself and developed a strong ABA program to compliment her strengths and weaknesses. Physically, Goldy needed support from a well trained professional with a heart of gold and vision, Mr. Orgel. Since day one he has done everything in his power to provide Goldy with the most up to date treatments. Using Cuevas MEDEK Exercises, he was successful in teaching Goldy how to use her brain to mobilize and reach a level of independence others didn’t believe she would. His drive, his dedication, his belief made my Goldy the girl she is today.

Tyler was born at 25 weeks pre-maturity and spent a year and a half in the hospital. The doctors said due to his extreme pre-maturity he would most likely not walk. Tyler began Cuevas Medek therapy in late 2007 when we came home from the hospital, he was still on a ventilator and oxygen. He was not crawling or walking yet, now Tyler is 3 years old, still on oxygen 24 hours a day but walking all over the place. He loves working with Jonathan Orgel and gets very excited when he sees the Medek boxes come out, he is ready to work immediately.
