Aleena suffered a Hypoxic Brain Injury (lack of oxygen to the brain) while in utero that led to Severe Global Developmental Delays and Epilepsy, leaving her non-mobile. She strives to interact with her environment and has found great benefit from special communication switches used during Speech Therapy.
Thanks to the help of our incredible donors, MGCA purchased these switches for Aleena to use at home, and now she can communicate with her family and caregivers, expressing her thoughts and feelings. This truly is an invaluable gift for Aleena, and it is the generosity of our donors that has made it possible for her to begin working to build new skills.
