Well, Jordan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy in 201 0, which is typically not a progressive disease, but what we were finding is that she was progressing into having difficulties walking, talking, and prior to the evaluation a couple of years ago, she was able to 2/24 speak two- to three-word sentences, and that declined, and we 5/26/26, 11:05 AM Transcript were wondering what was going on, so we had some genetic testing done and found out that she does not have cerebral palsy; she has what's called spastic paraplegia, which is a progressive disease, and it's... Her particular mutation is very rare, and there's not a lot of literature on it. So this is one of the reasons why we wanted to be able to support her and allow her to communicate better with us and her friends. 2 minutes 29 seconds Describe Jordan's current therapies. Currently, she's getting all the therapies at school, your speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy. Outside private therapies, we are getting physical therapy, occupational therapy, she does a hippotherapy, which is the therapy on the horse. And she also has the swimming once a week, which she's amazing at. 3 minutes 23 seconds Describe Jordan's previous therapies. Therapies in the past. Well, she started out with pretty much all the same that I just spoke, and she's continued that throughout her entire life really since about six months old. The only therapy we're not doing now is the developmental therapy. 3 minutes 41 seconds What are your goals for your child? I want her to be a happy girl. I want her to be happy. I want her to be free to communicate however she can and not be frustrated and just to be able to sit on this couch with her family and tell us exactly what she needs without us getting that look of frustration and making her upset because we can't figure out what she wants. Those little things like a cup of juice, so. 4 minutes 57 seconds 3/24 Describe progress Jordan has made. 5/26/26, 11:05 AM Transcript So, earlier in her years when she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, she was making some great progress because we were working toward her walking and she was using a walker. She had a surgery called SDR, which is selective dorsal rhizotomy, which releases the spasticity in her legs. And she was a rockstar, she was doing great, making great strides, she was speaking more, she was walking and really making great progress. And then two years after that, she started to decline. And we lost a lot of the speech, she wasn't able to communicate as well. Her upper body was more affected, where before it was just her lower body. So... Jordan works very hard, so the progress, she works as hard as she can to strive in school and do very well in school. But we are seeing a decline in her ability. Developmental 6 minutes 33 seconds Describe how she gets around at home and at school. So she gets around at school through a her mobile wheelchair, which comes every day, and the bus picks her up and takes her to school in that. At home, there are several ways we get around in our home. So she does have the motorized wheelchair that we sometimes bring in the home. She also has a medical stroller, which we use when we're out traveling, and she has a trike bicycle, which she absolutely loves.
