Sadie

Pediatric Outpatient Medical Rehabilitation

Sadie began having seizures at just three years old.  She was diagnosed with Epilepsy and prescribed medication. However she continued to have seizures. She was having more than 100 seizures each day within two months. Then Sadie was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder. She has Rasmussen’s Encephalitis. Next Sadie had multiple surgeries at Cleveland Clinic. Because of this Sadie and her family returned home to start at Ability KC.  She began physical, occupational and speech therapy. Sadie’s family and therapists focused on new goals. This included crawling, walking, eating and communicating. Now Sadie returns to Ability KC for therapy services over the summer.  Her goals now include functional life skills and becoming more independent.
