Making Huge Strides:
Tessa’s Story
Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy
Tessa is a twin who loves baby dolls, animals and music. She and her brother were born at 24 weeks and had a long stay in the NICU. Tessa had three brain surgeries because of a brain bleed which resulted in her official diagnosis of cerebral palsy around eighteen months old.
ATP Ronald and Customer Care Coordinator Cami, helped Tessa and her family find the best equipment. Starting with a walker, Cami was very helpful working through the process and helping Tessa’s family pick out the perfect wheelchair for her.
With her new wheelchair, Tessa can sit at a higher level where she can see the world easier.
“Tessa gets very excited when she is in her wheelchair. She likes being higher up and able to reach things. She also loves that her twin brother can help push her and make her go faster in it. We see how she has been able to experience more independence with her wheelchair, and she loves the light-up wheels,”
Alexis, Tessa’s mom
Tessa has already made huge strides with the support of her family and mobility equipment from Numotion and are looking forward to seeing many more!
