The OT Services at Sara’s Garden are Amazing

I am so amazed by the OT services I receive at Sara’s Garden. The techniques that are used are so effective. I am able to do far more than I have ever done before. I’ve never been to a facility before and received as much care and effort from the staff as I have received here! Thank you!

Thank You From the Bottom of My Heart

Thank You From the Bottom of My Heart

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! My son is a different child since starting at NHA. He is more centered. He’s happy. He’s learning. He has friends!! He was struggling with being able to write his first name when he started at NHA. In seven months he has mastered not only his first name but is last name also. The staff at NHA is so loving and patient. The school is working! Thank you Sara’s Garden and New Horizons Academy for giving my son this opportunity to really belong, learn and succeed!

We are so Thrilled about SLP Services at Sara’s Garden

We are so Thrilled about SLP Services at Sara’s Garden

We are beyond thrilled that Sara’s Garden has added SLP services! We have had to drive for hours in the past in order to receive these services because nothing was available in our area. Not only do we now have Speech Therapy right in our own back yard, it has been so much more effective, yet so much less expensive than what we were receiving before. Thank you Sara’s Garden!

We Are Very Fortunate to Have Found Sara’s Garden

Our son Jace has cortical visual impairment (CVI), hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and suffers from seizures. During our round of treatments at Sara’s Garden Jace became more alert, his sleep duration became longer, he began tracking, his body movements became more frequent and he didn’t have a single seizure! We are very fortunate to have found Sara’s Garden and feel extremely blessed to have met such great people. The staff was very welcoming and professional. We will recommend Sara’s Garden to anyone who is thinking about this alternative treatment. We would like to extend a special thanks to Jason for being there to help us with all of our needs.

What a Difference HBOT has Made!

What a Difference HBOT has Made!

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about seven years ago, and it has admittedly been a huge struggle. As God would have it, we learned about Sara’s Garden and were told that they could help ease some of the symptoms I had been suffering from (dizziness, fatigue, headaches, numbness and intolerance to heat were the worst). After much prayer and research, my husband and I agreed to give it a try. What a difference it has made! The worst of my symptoms either eased dramatically or disappeared completely… and several of my smaller symptoms have improved as well! The staff at Sara’s Garden is wonderful and the results are amazing. I am forever grateful to all of you!

We are Forever Grateful

We are Forever Grateful

My mother is a victim of two strokes. After her first stroke, in 2007, she made great strides to regain independence and was able to drive again. However, the effects of her second stroke in 2009, were much worse. Her abilities to walk and speak greatly decreased, and while able to do most daily living skills on her own, those tasks became much harder. Because she had so much difficulty doing these things, her motivation to improve was extremely low.

She began treatment at Sara’s Garden in March 2014. I was with her for the month and attended each of her Conductive Education sessions. My mom and I agree that the staff was tremendous. They are kind and caring and showed that each day we were with them. If my mom was struggling with an exercise, They were very understanding and would adapt it, so that it was still challenging, but gave my mom a chance to complete it and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. They were able to motivate my mom in ways that we weren’t able to after her second stroke, to get the most out of the class.

Before the treatment at Sara’s Garden, my mom had very little use of her right arm and hand. This was a main point of focus in the Conductive Education sessions. One of the most memorable moments from the sessions was when my mom raised a wooden rod above her head, using both hands, something that was unthinkable before she worked with them. I filmed this and sent it to my family; my aunt said she was crying in the middle of a store as she watched it!

My mom also improved in speaking, reading, and walking. She uses the skills she learned in Conductive Educations class every day and is so grateful to Sara’s Garden for their guidance, patience and care throughout the sessions. My family is forever thankful to the staff of Sara’s Garden for helping her gain independence and helping her see that she is able to do things that she thought were impossible before.

CE from Sara’s Garden has Been Instrumental

Our daughter suffers from Acute Disseminated Encephala Myelitis (ADEM). It was suggested that she take advantage of the Conductive Education services offered at Sara’s Garden to improve her quality of life.

She began receiving services from Sara’s Garden in June 2014 – setting goals, improving strength and balance, working on small motor skills, cognitive thinking and retraining her brain. Since starting Conductive Education, her stamina has improved. She struggles less to stand up and her positive attitude has returned. Many of the improvements we see are small things that most people who know her would not even notice… but they are huge to her. She is able to care for her own personal needs (bathing, restroom needs and dressing). She gets in and out of the car without help. Her reasoning has improved and her handwriting is getting better all the time.

Conductive Education from Sara’s Garden has been instrumental in all of these areas. Their knowledge and use of Conductive Education far exceeds any of the physical therapy that she has received over the past 25 years. The staff at Sara’s Garden is positive, compassionate and encouraging. They work well with her and keep us apprised of what we can do to help her at home so we are benefiting from their knowledge and expertise, as well.

The ultimate goal that our daughter has set for herself is to walk on her own. Even though she has worked to achieve this goal for many years through other conventional physical therapy it never really seemed that it was possible. With Conductive Education from Sara’s Garden it seems not only possible, but achievable. With the help of God she will walk on her own again.

Doctors are Amazed at his Progress

Doctors are Amazed at his Progress

My son nearly drowned at 20 months old when he fell in a swimming pool at a day care center. The doctors gave him no hope of making any improvement. We did lots of searching and tried many different types of therapies. The only one that we’ve found that truly helped him has been Conductive Education.

Since starting Conductive Education, he now sits unsupported, uses his hands, rolls over, and can now bear all of his weight on his legs and has begun to learn to walk. The doctors are amazed at his progress. Sara’s Garden has made a huge impact on his life. They have also helped to teach me so much as a parent of a child with a disability how to continue to help him to work and grow in the home. I can not express enough how thankful I am for Sara’s Garden and what they have done, not only in my son’s life, but many other children’s lives as well.

Sara’s Garden is a True Asset

Sara’s Garden is a True Asset

Our daughter was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy as a result of a pediatric stroke suffered prior to birth. She has participated in two four-week sessions of Conductive Education at Sara’s Garden over the past 12 months. Prior to attending Sara’s Garden, she was unable to use her left hand as a result of her stroke. After working with the conductors from Sara’s Garden, she is now able to use her left hand to grab things, manipulate objects and to hold things for the first time. Simply put, she was able to begin having functional use of her left hand as a result of their work and expertise.

Without their knowledge and skill base, she would not be in the position she is today. She is now beginning to build on the foundation they were able to create. We look forward to having her continue to work with the staff at Sara’s Garden. Without them, she would be limited in her ability to build on all the work she was able to successfully do with their oversight. Sara’s Garden is a true asset to all the handicapped children and their families they have had a positive influence on.
