Meet Leah,

By the time she was 18 months, Leah's mom, Delmaris, noticed that Leah was missing some developmental milestones. She was not speaking any words, she would not imitate and her eye contact was incredibly low. After she turned 2, she began walking on her tiptoes, stimming, flapping her hands and stacking objects. With the help of early intervention Leah has shown great improvement in her communication and social skills. She is a fast learner, and is great at matching games, peg puzzles and stacking blocks. She also has well-developed gross motor skills — and is becoming quite a gymnast.

Delmaris credits having a strong support group with helping her family throughout their journey. And that is what you find when you become part of our Walk community. As a friend, you know how important it is to have that support. So REGISTER today, join our amazing community and discover the power YOU have to enhance lives!
