My son Matt, wore AFOs for several years, sent a lot of time in speech, O.T., P.T.
therapy, and still walks with a gait to date.
He also, is legally blind. The reason for sharing this information is to let everyone
know that there is HOPE for these children.
We always knew that Matt, never would be an athlete or fit in with the rest of the children, so my husband and I tried to do things to make him look as normal as possible. Started at any early age exposing him to other children. Birthday, holiday parties, etc. at our house. Made sure all the kids in the neighborhood felt welcomed. My advice to you would be to concentrate on academics and enroll him in a music program.
And, encourage any accomplishes no matter how small.
Matt, currently is enrolled in the honors program at Southern Methodist University, was "Who Wants to Be a Millonaire", and was on "Beauty and the Geek" last spring.
In those times of feeling alone and not knowing what to do, trust your heart, and never ever give up on your child.
Hope this helps.
