A Gymnastics Air Tumbling Mat for Lilliana to practice

Posted Jul 1, 2022
Lilliana craves and needs movement, proprioceptive and vestibular input regularly. She struggles with motor planning and low muscle tone. Gymnastics is not only something she loves but something that is very therapeutic for her. Her grandmother hopes to convert part of their basement to a sensory and gymnastics gym. She regularly sets goals for herself and doesn't give up until she achieves them. If she were to get her wish granted she would likely scream and beg to use it immediately.

Lilliana is 8 years old and lives in MD

Lilliana is an active loveable little girl. She has been with her grandmother since right before she turned 3. She is what one would call twice exceptional. She is very bright- gifted level but also has a variety of diagnosis that could be considered disabilities. She has been diagnosed with dyspraxia as well as sensory processing disorder. In addition, she has severe obstructive sleep apnea and PTSD. Despite all of this she has done amazingly well academically in Kindergarten. She reads at an end of third grade level and loves doing math and is always writing little notes. She loves all things active and outdoors. She loves participating in swimming lessons, gymnastics, and kinetic ninja warrior activities. When not engaged in her various therapies she is forever climbing trees and riding her bicycle. She is very social and makes friends with anyone. She especially enjoys spending time with her cousins. She has 3 half siblings that unfortunately she does not have contact with currently- she worries about them a lot. Lilliana's current career aspiration is to be an archaeologist.
