During her first therapy session her therapist Cindy explained to me (in an easy to understand way) what was going on with Sam in the water and explained the strategies she was using for Sam to gain a sense of her awareness in the water. While Sam was floating in the water with a bubble and weights on her ankles, she was truly finding her legs in the water. By

the end of her second therapy session, Sam swam on her own with nothing on but flippers! Amazing!
I highly recommend Cindy and Angelfish Therapy to all those who are undecided about what type of aquatic program your child needs. I know that we would have saved a lot of time and money if we started with Angelfish Therapy from the start.

This video demonstrates one on one righting reactions. You will see how the child will work on righting his trunk and work to have reciprocal motion in his leg kicks. All the while responding to his balance.

Working one on one with a child to achieve arm extensions using a flotation device.

Continued work on balancing and extensions in a one on one envrionment.
