- Hi, I’m Dana and I have been a pediatric physical therapist for 25 years. You can read more about my practice at the top of my channel. I see kids for a lot of different disabilities including developmental delay, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, genetic disorders, dystrophies, and more. I cannot give individualized medical advice on social media and you need your doctors permission to try any exercises with your child. A therapist needs to be trained in order to perform these highly skilled exercises.
I see kids for intensives in Cary, North Carolina for 1,2, or 3 weeks for 2 visits per day. We are able to show a lot of progress with our little patients and I share that to bring hope to other parents around the world. You can find booking information at the link at the top of my channel.
The exercises I use are based on Cueves Medek Exercises. We give novel experiences to kids to work on neuroplasticity of the brain which allows us to improve gross motor skills.
These should be done only by a trained therapist and doctor approval. Exercises are done at your own risk. We only do 3-5 repetitions of each exercise. Please follow instagram @all_kids_are_perfect

It's actually incredible how far disability support has come.
From tucking severely disabled people out of sight to actively working within their sensory limitations.
It's beautiful to see.
Я случайно увидела серию видео с этой девушкой реабилитологом. Я в восторге. Сколько терпения, знаний и любви к таким детишкам!!! 💞💞💞Я Вами восхищена!!!
I have never seen anything like this before. All I can say is God bless you for all you do! ❤😢(From Romania)
One thing I like about you, Dana, and your team is that you don't do a lot of high pitched laughing and squealing and clapping. So many adults do that but I think it would be distracting and get them over-excited.
Thank you!
You made a wonderful observation. It may not sound germane, but Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, says exactly this same thing about people making their dogs over-excited because of the way they greet their dogs when they come home from work--with high-pitched voices, squeaking and squealing and baby-talking and with exaggerated excitement. He says, "No touch, no talk, no eye-contact" when you first enter the house, so that the dog does not get excited, but remains calm and easy to manage. The same is true of children. The adults are quiet, calm and reassuring. Wonderful techniques and execution.
@@13c11aAbsolutely! I must confess I think I learned that from Cesar Milan :) I've rescued a lot of fearful dogs who respond well to calm and quiet :)
You are a Goddess to my child, following your exercises hope she will be able to sit and walk independently soon. #Lots of love from INDIA❤
I hope so too!
You are helping so many children *and* so many parents be able to help their children themselves! ❤ You are doing so much good and I hope you know that. 🙏🏼 💖 ✨ You may not be able to travel the globe (and it isn’t expected that you do that!), but you *are* giving parents the tools they need (and the hope) to work on this themselves with their kiddos. Thank you for all the time, effort, and energy you put into this. I know it can’t be easy. ❤ I love learning from your videos and seeing the progress you make with these sweet kids.
Thank you so much.
This makes me cry it's so beautiful. Such a sweet little girl and mother ❤ thank you for posting.
Яку мудрість дав Бог вам допомогати дітям!!!
Thank you so much for your dedication . These kids are so very lucky to have you help them . God bless.
God bless this baby. All kids are perfect in God’s eye. God bless your work 🙏🏽
Come to pakistan once and spread awareness about CME and DMI ..... give us the parents some useful training plz..... everyone out here is going to b really happy....
Exactly
I totally agree with you....i wish they will come to Pakistan....i am also worried about my son😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I’m sorry. I can’t travel that far. I also deal with health issues.
Have you seen my highlights on Instagram? I suggest you watch the AKAP stretch first, then the reflex highlights, and then choose which gross motor skill you want to work on.
@@furqanjaffri4223my kid also suffering from it.... M also Pakistani... My son is under treatment from children complex multan... Totally free h .... Bt Pakistan m awareness ki h .... Just visit Neuro department they will help u.... Keep my son in ur prays
Akap in the Philippines means hug or embrace. So very appropriate in what you are doing for kids with disabilities. Thank you for your dedication. Praying for your success
Yes we have shirts that say this and sell them for scholarships. Link is at the top of my channel.
Your enthusiasm and compassion is absolutely infectious 💜🙏🏻💜
Eceptional progress you are making with that sweet little girl.
The idea of laying on of hands has always been with us. Care for the sick. The 1970's brought books about therapeutic touch, but now, the glorious internet.
I had seen Somatic therapy and movement, usually yoga studio ads. There were practitioners if you knew where to look.
But now….All Kids Are Perfect….we can see.
It’s touch divine. Love wrapped up in persistence.
Believing is seeing.
What you are doing is amazing.
I only came across these videos a few days ago and i am SO impressed with the All Kids Are Perfect team! What a truly wonderful bunch and their compassion and encouragement shows through with every child they deal with.
They are truly changing these children's lives and teaching the parents what they need to be doing to help these beautiful children.
What an awesome awesome team! 🥰💘💝💖
Thanks for being here.
I'm trying to help my grandson that was born at 5 months. He has a shunt in his head . I don't want to hurt my sweet boy.. but I know he is strong. And very happy. He's 2 1/2
Do some research about what type of physical therapy exercises would be appropriate for him. May take some searching but there are some surely. All the best to you and that sweet grand baby of yours.
She is so strong 😊
Great work! Amazing how you integrate the parents into therapy.
Great, great work!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
appreciable work madam...profound

Have you seen my highlights on Instagram? I suggest you watch the AKAP stretch first, then the reflex highlights, and then choose which gross motor skill you want to work on.
Is the pushing technique in time 15:01 to help the head to stay in middle line? I am a Kids Physio from Germany and really like how you work.
Yes. Using the friction of the table.
Super🙏🙏🙏🙏 mam
Thank you so much for being here.
Can we do this training on the floor?
How many times per day should this exercise be done?
I’m not any kind of expert, just a viewer, but I read they do twice daily sessions at the intensives, so that feels like a place to begin, if that’s helpful at all.
My daughter is almost 7years.. she is not cereberal palsy but she have almost same condition like this girl.. can i try these exercises to her? I just bought that light.
❤
Thank you for being here.
THEY ARE SO CUTE AND PRETTY GIRLS 👧 🎉😊
Does this technique or your techniques work with child with hemiplegic cerebral palsy?
Yes!
A donde se compra esa esfera de luz?
They are in my Amazon storefront which is linked in my bio. It will be under enticing toys.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My child has d same problem ma'am...please I need your help
All of my exercises are posted here and on Instagram.
Hi. I have 1yr 4months baby. She can't balance her head. What shall I do?
Remember, there is an order on my page if your child is struggling with gross motor skills. Go to Instagram:
1. Always start with AKAP stretch highlights (highlights are colored circles at top of Instagram page).
2. Learn about the TLR reflex in my reflex highlights.
3. Head control must come first. Watch head control highlights.
4. Lastly, watch the highlight on Instagram associated with the gross motor skills you are working on. For example: sitting.
Does this work with microcephaly child
Yes
