5 Weeks Post Therapy
1 March 2026
On the 3rd January we headed to Rotorua where we stayed for 3 weeks (apart from a couple of sneaky trips home to reset) and Elijah completed 51 hours of Physio, Occupational and Exercise Physiology therapy.
I'm not going to lie, that first week was pretty rough but then Elijah found his groove, he started to trust the team and engaged in the therapy being provided.
5 weeks post therapy, and we are back into our normal routine, Elijah is back at school and this is where we have noticed the most significant change, he's settled into his new class, loves his new teacher, staying in class 95% of the time. He works hard at learning all day and is coming home appropriately fatigued rather than completely dysregulated.
We attended his Individual Education Planning at school last week - something we have to do twice a year to retain funding... I usually dread them because for the last 3 years we have just rolled the same goals over and over because they were not achieved... this year we have 3 pages full of progress and were able to set some new goals and extend ones already in place.
Don't get me wrong Elijah is still full of energy, survives on very little sleep or food and can become quite dysregulated when there is anything out of the norm... but there is definitely progress - so much so, I have just booked us into a 1 week top up with the Centre of Movement in June, but I did want to pause and just say thank you... your support meant the world to us both <3
