Jacob's Story
How this water baby is finding his feet!
He was referred to Tallaght Hospital and following an MRI scan, Jacob was diagnosed.
“After having 18 months of doubts, to finally have them confirmed was a relief. We had a diagnosis, we knew what we were dealing with and we could get on with it. We went to Enable Ireland for an assessment of Jacob’s needs and shortly after began attending the service for therapies.”
“Jacob gets blocks of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy at Enable Ireland Tallaght. The team there are fantastic and Jacob loves going. He loves the group sessions in particular because it’s just play. He’s doing a Dressing Up Group at the moment. The point of the group is to teach them how to dress themselves but they don’t see that – they just see the fun of trying on all these costumes.
Jacob is a typical six year old boy – he loves his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Despicable Me Minions and has a very special relationship with his Nana, Marie.”
