When isolation began, they didn’t think online therapies would work for their 4-year-old with Down syndrome. But it turned out better than anyone expected. peterprengaman in Arizona has AP’s latest Virus Diary.
In this May 21, 2020, photo, Pablo Prengaman, center, practices recognizing and verbalizing body parts while building a Mr. Potato Head with the help of mother, Lorena Prengaman, and brother Lucas Prengaman, during a speech therapy session via Zoom in Phoenix. Pablo, who is 4 years old and has Down syndrome, has been doing online speech and occupational therapies since March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
PHOENIX — The speech therapist held up a book of animals. Our 4-year-old looked curiously at her across the Zoom call screen.It was the first time I had heard Pablo say an approximation of an animal name. It was a huge accomplishment for a kid with Down syndrome who struggles with speech. Two months and many therapies later, I don’t think we ever want to go back to “normal” when it comes to therapy.
