Sarah has delayed speech development and an autism spectrum disorder. After two years, the baby stopped looking into her eyes and responding to her name, and speech never appeared.
A behavioral analyst taught Sarah how to follow instructions with multiple subjects. The girl successfully coped with the task. Sarah also learned to follow more complex instructions, consisting of several actions at the same time. Sarah can now distinguish between more new stimuli. All this indicates an improved understanding of the addressed speech and the development of cooperation with the teacher.
A sensory integration specialist worked on proprioception using weights, a heavy blanket, and pushing heavy objects. With the help of exercises in a hammock, on a swing and a balancing board, the girl's vestibular system was worked out. Thanks to the teacher's work, Sarah learned to stand confidently on a balancing board, ride on a swing with her arms outstretched up and to the sides.
