Brillo de Sol School Experience

Kristin gets some love from Luna, the school's pet!

This afternoon we went to Brillo de Sol, a school for children with various disabilities and special needs in Antigua. We were welcomed by the students, teachers, principle, and the school pet - Luna!
We then split into groups of 3-4 and got to provide consultative Physical Therapy services to the children and their families. My group worked with a particularly sweet 17-year old on some lower body strengthening and gait training. Her mother appreciated our recommendations, and the patient ended the session with a "thank you" as she is currently learning English (and mentioned that she loves to dance - so that might be on the list of activities to do with her when we go back on Monday)!

Guneet and Dr. Karen McCulloch work with their patient on gait training.
