NeuroRestorative Academy Helps Izzy Improve Her Daily Life Skills
In September, Izzy admitted from an inpatient psychiatric unit to our NeuroRestorative Academy, Clearwater residential program due to having behavioral issues at home and in the classroom. Since joining, she has been working on her mental health, social & behavior skills, fitness, occupational therapy, life skills and academics. She has enjoyed assisting with house chores, cooking, money management, arts and crafts. “My Therapists have been helpful with controlling my behavior,” said Izzy. “I want others like me to think of positives and talk with someone. To just know that everything is going to be OK.”
Her mother, who was her sign-language interpreter at a young age, adopted her. “NeuroRestorative is rebuilding her confidence, and I am so thankful for that. As a parent, you want to do everything in your power to help your child,” said mother, Sandra. “The residential program is amazing as it teaches her how to interact with others. I can tell the difference when I speak with her.”
