Congratulations, Tristan, on your 10th visit!
We hope you had a fantastic day, Tristan! 👏 It's wonderful to see how well you are doing!
When we first met at age 6, Tristan hadn't started reading. Following two-step instructions, focusing, and understanding yesterday/today/tomorrow were all difficult. He was sensitive to touch, kept his distance, had disorganized coordination, struggled with sentences, found drawing hard, and had trouble regulating himself and connecting with others.
Today, Tristan is making incredible progress! 👏
He's learning to read words and can now follow four-step instructions! 🎯 He enjoys playing games more with his sister and others. He sits attentively for TV shows and stories read by his Mom. His balance and coordination have improved greatly—he can run, hop, and join activities like other kids his age! 🎯 He's more willing to interact, tells longer and more organized stories, and has even learned some English! 🎯 He's taken up drawing 🎨 and started writing words. He's less nervous, more open with people, handles social situations better, and has begun problem-solving for himself and his family! 🎯
2026 Update: Tristan is still doing absolutely fantastic! 🎯
He's starting to read 1st-grade level books! 🎯 He follows instructions well, works on 1st-grade facts, and can sit through a chapter book for a 5-year-old, answering questions, building vocabulary, and identifying main ideas. He's making great strides with sequence and conclusions. Explaining things to him is easier now, and he understands everything. Emotionally, he continues to do wonderfully and is regulating himself better! 🎯
All in all, well done, Tristan! You've come such a long way, and it's fantastic to see you back at the Family Hope Center! We can't wait to hear more good news from you soon! 🎯
