Overbite

Is it possible to bite someone (for example, a brother) accidentally?

I don’t think so either, but this is his story.

“Well, Mom, we were jumping and when he fell on my head, my teeth just sort of clamped down.”

More Therapy



Wade has physical therapy once a week with Susan. He's always happy to see her, but then she pushes him over and he cries. It's all part of his therapy to try to get him to use and strengthen the right muscles. But Susan is so full of songs and energy that he is soon cheerful again.







In July, Wade got a new occupational therapist who also comes once a week. Jesse brings a bag full of toys for Wade to reach for and even helps Wade eat snacks to work on his pincer grasp. Fun! Fun! Wade loves to eat.







Wade's service coordinator Karen comes once a month to coordinate Wade's treatments and to make sure he is not missing any essential elements of therapy.



Wade also gets speech therapy from Liz once a month.

Randall tries. . .

and tries. . .


and tries, but never gets it!

Christopher shows how it's done.
