Early screenings can help children later in life

Updated: Early screenings can help children later in life | tallahassee.com | Tallahassee Democrat:

"Jeremy Richard was born with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder of the heart that doctors said can generally lead to problems with development.

His mother, Allison Tant, knew physical and cognitive delays were most likely in Jeremy’s future, but it was the screening process when he was just 5-months-old that set her on the right path of therapies and interventions that now allow the 11-year-old to play the piano, guitar and be a successful fourth-grader who is able to function with his learning disabilities."
