Today we worked on self-feeding with our absolutely amazing Occupational Therapist. Emma is having trouble seeing her food since her vision is not great (she has CVI-cortical visual impairment). We are really trying to get her to reach for her food on her tray. Emma did put her fingers in her mouth after a few bites which her OT was thrilled about! She’s gotten great with holding her pouches and also using a straw. She even grabbed for her straw while drinking! It’s incredible how such small accomplishments impact her life so much.

I'm a mom of four girls, including my daughter Emma, who is nonverbal and has complex medical needs. Through Emma Bear's Journey, I share our family's experiences, the everyday resources that help us, and what I've learned about caring for and advocating for Emma. My hope is to help other families feel more informed, supported, and less alone. View all posts by Lauren Seeger
