PMC Milestone Moment: Ariel

We are thrilled to share our first PMC Milestone Moment! Milestone Moments are celebrations that mark the success of a PMC student or patient, in both therapeutic and recreational programs. For our first Milestone Moment, we are excited to share Ariel's story. 


Ariel first came to PMC two years ago for Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy. Her therapy focused on fine motor tasks, appropriate play skills, hand strengthening, and self regulation, and verbal communication.


According to her grandpa, when she first started, she only went to therapy “kicking and screaming.” Two years later, she loves coming to PMC, and her therapists, Justin and Julia. She came to PMC not using any verbal communication, and now she can communicate her wants and needs!

Congratulations, Ariel! Thank you for sharing your success story with us, we are so proud of your accomplishments!

Medical specialists, such as pediatric physical therapists, pediatric occupational therapists, and neurologists can help address the underlying nervous system and muscular issues contributing to DCD.
