Meet our March Superstar, Barrett! ⭐️

 

Barrett was born in 2017 and is our youngest of 3 happy and healthy children. At 18 months Barrett began missing some of his developmental milestones. Fast forward to April of 2020 and the beginning of the pandemic and Barrett was diagnosed with moderate to severe Autism Spectrum Disorder. The timing and severity of that news was a tough pill to swallow. We immediately began the journey of supporting Barrett however we could.
Since then, we have done OT and/or Speech therapy at 3 different clinics. Our last clinic closed abruptly while we were away on family vacation so upon return, Barrett’s services were interrupted.
We had previously connected with Laura Vickers at church where she was Barrett’s Sunday school teacher. She had told us her mother was a therapist that worked with children like Barrett. When our services were interrupted we connected with Stacee Vickers and she helped us navigate getting Barrett into Peach State Therapy. The unexpected closing of his old clinic was truly a blessing because it gave us the opportunity to join Peach State and connect with Mrs. Ashley, the most amazing OT Barrett has ever had! Peach State is truly a dream for all of Barrett’s sensory needs. Barrett loves getting to spend time playing in the gym before and after his therapy sessions.
We have watched Barrett progress at Peach State Therapy and he genuinely enjoys coming to “play” and see Mrs. Ashley.  Barrett will be starting speech services with Ms. Myshira soon and we are so excited! We have finally found a clinic that truly feels like “the one”. This is so hard to find and we are so unbelievably grateful for everything Peach State has done for Barrett and our family! - Mom
