Parents, thank you for sharing your children with us during this joint intensive. We are so proud of all of them! With the joint intensive, we want to give older kiddos access to DMI who would benefit from two sets of skilled hands to boost their gross motor skills.

This joint intensive continues to be dedicated to Paloma, our very first kiddo to participate in our joint intensive. Paloma, we loved watching you grow and shine. We are thankful to call you our forever friend. Check out the Paloma Lucia Foundation! palomaluciafoundation

Elia, we enjoyed our new hairstyles and your smiles during the joint intensive. We also loved creating tactile sounds for you in between your exercises. Thank you for being awesome while you worked on all things weight shift. Great job, Elia! 🌱⭐️

Brooks enjoyed all of his exercises during the joint intensive with a side of nursery rhymes! He worked hard while trying to elongate his hip flexors, improve his pelvic posture, and turn on his bottom muscles for upright postures. He sure made us feel special with his contagious giggle. Great job, Brooks! 🌱⭐️

Jennie just celebrated her one year anniversary as a Rehab Tech at Starlight Intensives! During an intensive, you can find Jennie singing nursery rhymes on repeat, staging performances for distraction, mastering play, and providing an extra set of hands to make goals come to life. She is an integral part of the success of each child’s intensive. Here are some kind reviews from parents:

🌟 “Jennie is like the cherry on top—keeping all of us entertained and engaged throughout each session.”
🌟 “Jennie was phenomenal.”
🌟 “She makes it so fun!”
🌟 “Thank you Ms. Jennie for a successful intensive!”

By trade, Jennie is a very talented pastry chef and owns her own cookie business called Jennie Janjua .

And fun fact, Jennie and Stacie are sisters!

BAM! Good-bye wall!

After one year in the office, Starlight Intensives knocked down the wall between the two treatment rooms to create an open and more cohesive space for your intensive home. Can’t wait to see all the kiddos shine in the new space!

Look at these kiddos working SO hard during their joint intensive. We are so proud of all of them! With the joint intensive, we want to give older kiddos access to DMI who would benefit from two sets of skilled hands to boost their gross motor skills.

Parents, thank you for sharing your children with us. We loved watching them grow and shine!

This joint intensive continues to be dedicated to Paloma, our very first kiddo to participate in our joint intensive. We honored her by wearing a shirt from the Paloma Lucia Foundation . We thought about her often this week and one sweet moment was captured at the end of the reel. Paloma, we are thankful to call you our forever friend. 🕊️

During Naomi’s intensive, we focused on pushing through her feet with upright posture with the use of lots of dynamic exercises. This led to many firsts:

⭐️ standing for the first time with only AFOs
⭐️ taking steps in her walker with only AFOs
⭐️ pushing through her right foot to pull up on the sofa
⭐️ transitions from wheelchair to and from walker

And the best part, we didn’t practice steps until the 4th day of the intensive and we didn’t practice activities like pulling up on the sofa or transitions from wheelchair to walker until the 5th day. Which means that the dynamic exercises helped improved her ability to stay upright against gravity during functional activities.

Thanks DMI - a method helping kiddos attain function!

At the end of Jude’s first intensive, he sat for up to 4 seconds with close guarding. Before his second intensive, he could sit for up to 10 seconds. By the end of his second intensive, he sat for 60 seconds with better control and alignment!

His amazing smile says it all ❤️
