“It all started when we took our first daughter, Brynn, for her twelve month checkup. Our pediatrician went through the general questions like, “Is she talking?”, “Is she eating well?”, “Is she sleeping all night?” We smiled and bragged to him about all the wonderful things our daughter could do. Then the next question was one we knew was coming, but we weren’t quite ready to hear what he was going to say next. The question came, “Is she walking, yet?” My husband and I, being first time parents, said “no.” That’s when our daughter’s pediatrician suggested physical therapy to help further her gross motor skills. Our minds started racing. OUR daughter needed to see a physical therapist because she had delayed gross motor skills? We were taken back and sat quietly as the doctor left the room.”
“A team of Rainbows’ therapists came to evaluate Brynn. We didn’t know what to expect and our nerves were running high. They all walked into our home, introduced themselves, took their shoes off and started to play with Brynn. They explained the process of the evaluation very thoroughly and got to work. They got down on the floor to start interacting with Brynn.”
“What sets Rainbows apart is the way in which they help families. Professional, courteous, great communication skills, and knowledgeable are all characteristics of all Rainbows team members we had the pleasure of interacting with.” – Brynn’s parents, Karl and Rachel Ely
