Olivia

Olivia, who was born prematurely weighing only 12 ounces, is now a thriving five-year-old girl. In the summer of 2019, Olivia began attending our LeafBridge Steps to Independence® Intensive Therapy Program in order to – as her mom, Rashunda, says – give her precious daughter the extra “boost” she was looking for to learn how to walk. Today, Olivia is able to walk using a walker! Not only that, but as a result of participating in virtual therapy sessions to address her self-feeding goals, Olivia is learning how to eat and drink by experiencing new flavors and exploring new food textures! You can watch Olivia’s full story in the video below.
