Therapist’s Perspective: Teacher Hershey V. Cruz

January 03, 2012   DREAM   No comments

“Love your mother because mothers act from the heart.” This is the message I got from the evening mass on the very first day of this year. It made me feel very grateful and I thought of my wonderful mother at that moment. It made me realize how lucky I am that she brought me up so well. Thank you, Nanay.

After a while, the thought of other parents crossed my mind. These are the parents (usually the mothers), who I always talk to at work after each therapy session I had with their child. I think they are the parents who must be given recognition and all other parents should look upon them. These parents do not just have the heart but they also have the gift, a gift that can give unconditional love to their child. SELFLESS.

Dance therapy sessions are free for DREAM patients. The presentation includes both normal and special children, as it depicts the life of a special child. It has been observed that the special children model after the normal children in the sessions and rehearsals. The child, Naomi, is part of a family as she performs her activities of daily living. It is the first of its kind – pioneer presentation in the history of Baguio City & the Philippines. We aim to integrate the special children in the mainstream of society. Special children go through life like normal children with a lot of help from their parents, siblings, caregivers. The roles of the developmental and behavioral pediatrician, therapists, teachers will be shown.
