Asma is a very bright little girl who has been in the care of St. Mary’s Hospital for Children for the past seven years. Since arriving at St. Mary’s, Asma has gone on to achieve many milestones in her development.
There was a time when Asma could only communicate with sounds and gestures. Now, she is a social butterfly who speaks in full sentences, has conversations, understands complex language, and even uses wide variety of vocabulary.
Asma is growing to be a self-sufficient kid. She walks independently and can dress herself with little assistance. She can print the letter A, as well as identify numerous letters, numbers, shapes and colors.
Thanks to our team of pediatric feeding specialists, Asma is also making huge strides with her eating. She has an increased interest in new foods and has begun tasting new flavors and drinking liquids. She can even bite through solid food now! She is rapidly progressing towards being able to chew and swallow.
But Asma’s achievements don’t stop there! She is also developing her social skills, regularly interacting with peers of her age in various settings. She loves going to her dance class and attending school with other children on the St. Mary’s Campus. For Asma, St. Mary’s Hospital has been her home.
