. He had the first session for both therapies.. He was given a test for the speech therapy to establish the baseline. For his physical therapy, he was given about 10 new exercises to strengthen his upper body. ( He has already been doing 20 minute pilate moves every other day for last four years, which helps a lot.)
We also have an appointment with a occupational therapist to learn how to carry out daily routines, such as carrying, lifting, falling and etc.
