"I wanted to give a shout out to OT and Speech! O. had made tremendous progress in sensory and fine motor, almost so that the only needs are gross motor! You have a wonderful facility that other private therapies lack such as the Lycra, k-tape, and wiggle machine, just to name a few! The brushing program and the bestibular protocol have been a night and day difference for O. to handle her everyday world so much easier thanks to all the knowledge Points Staff has! I have so much respect for them!! Speech got us set up with a personal communication device and that has been amazing seeing the progress. While we still have a long way to go-O. LOVES going there and walks around like she owns the place! Everyone is so personable and sweet! Thank you for creating such a wonderful facility, amazing therapists, and we are blessed to be in such good hands there!
Peace and love to you."

"Somewhere between the end of second grade and upon starting third grade, my son's self-esteem plummeted, his confidence took a dive and his perfectionist tendencies and anxiety skyrocketed. Bedtime was the worst. He feared falling asleep and started imagining worst-case scenarios, a different one for each night of the week. Bedwetting was still happening a couple of times per month (usually more). Listening to directions was beyond problematic.
Put all this together and he was having multiple daily meltdowns, negative thought patterns that spiraled downward fast, and a need for endless "pep talks" to keep his spirits high and to assure him that he wasn't a bad kid, stupid, or a failure. Bedtime seemed to last forever and finally, I caved and let him fall asleep with me hiding him tightly and then would move him over to his bed.
If that wasn't enough, I noticed other regular daily life skills start to diminish. Things he was able to do before but all of a sudden could not do/would not do. Brushing his teeth, writing, holding a pencil! The emotional weight of all of this felt heavy immediately. I needed help. My stepdaughter who is an occupational therapist recommended OT.
My son participated in AIT, a two-week intensive therapy. During the therapy and for some time afterward, I only saw some improvement. Now, we are three months out, and I cannot believe the results.
He brushes his teeth on his own initiative, he holds a pencil, he writes effortlessly, he doesn't grumble about writing, he voluntarily zips his brother's coat, he opens bags without the contents flying everywhere, he has stopped bedwetting, he pours his own liquid, he expresses what he wants, he expresses how he is feeling, his ticks have stopped, he ties his own shoes for the first time in his life, he uses utensils properly, he no longer fears bedtime and goes to bed without any help. He is drawing again.

Thank you for your investment in my son! We are all grateful!" Angie D.
A grateful mom...
When my daughter was evaluated at Points of Stillness, she was a year and a half old. She woke up every 30 minutes until midnight and then slept in two-hour increments. She expressed anxiety throughout the day, especially if I was not in contact with her, even if we were in the same room. She covered her ears if there were loud or unexpected sounds. She screamed every time we put on clothes. Some mornings she was so sensitive to light, that we put on sunglasses before turning on a small lamp when waking up or she would cry and cover her face. Waking up, breakfast, putting on clothes, and brushing teeth took two hours on a good day. Then we started therapy.
We did interventions we learned during therapy at home as directed by our therapist. The change I have witnessed in my now three-year-old daughter still brings me to tears. She is playing with kids, no longer covers her ears at all. She has the ability to be independent and confident. Instead of being governed by fear and anxiety, she can learn and play and be curious. She loved going to Points of Stillness. The staff are knowledgeable, fun and loving. Every person who touched our lives at Points of Stillness will be forever in our hearts. We love you!
