The Real Reason Kids With Cerebral Palsy Struggle to Progress

Every child with CP presents differently, and this episode shows why a personalized roadmap makes all the difference.Book an intensive at infinity...

AUSTRALIA to IOWA for Answers: How Innovative Therapy Helped her Child
Mary returns to share what changed for her daughter Rosie between intensives and why the “foundation first” approach finally moved the needle. In week one, Rosie's retained primitive reflexes were integrated, something Mary says multiple providers had attempted for years without success. The balance tracker told the story: vestibular function climbed from the second percentile into the normal range over the following months, with proprioception and vision improving as well. Beyond the numbers, daily life shifted. Teachers and therapists noticed clearer speech and smoother coordination. Falls became rare. Family routines felt calmer as regulation improved, and Mary saw t...
