It was nice because every which way we turned, she seemed to be the talk of the town! Quite a different story than our previous visit!
On our first visit to The Institute, they concluded that her neurological age was 5.97 months. After 6 months on the program, they re-evaluated her, and determined her new age to be 6.54. Yes, barely any difference. They were happy though with her physiological progress.
This visit, they determined her new neurological age to be 19.78 months. We were so happy with that jump. We are finally narrowing the gap between her chronological, and neurological age.
They award victories at the Institute. They have 21 different categories. Last visit we came home empty handed. This visit, we attained 3 victories! We were so excited to see our hard work pay off :o)
She received her:
Reading Victory
Detoxification Victory
Understanding Victory
We are so proud of all of the work Aviana has done, and continues to do on a daily basis. She is the most amazing little girl!
I am sure there will be ebbs and flows with each visit, for now, we are going to ride this exciting wave as long as we can ; D
GO AVI GO!!!!
