At ten months old, it became clear that Mikayla's delayed developmental milestones were more than just her happy, laid-back personality. We began a journey in understanding Mikayla’s global delays ( therapy, MRI, genetic testing, and a slew of other specialty evaluations). Early findings on an MRI indicated a stroke. After 8 years of this answer for an underlying cause of her impairments, a follow up Neurology appointment in 2024, revealed Mikayla had not had a stroke.  

Mikayla is now undiagnosed. Our current journey involves helping Mikayla learn.  She requires individualized attention and appropriate accommodations for us to perceive what she comprehends and for her to demonstrate  her understanding. Communication, attention to task, visual spatial skills, and executive function skills are her greatest hurdles. We are committed to collaboratively piece together the complex puzzle of our wonderfully created child - No Matter What!
