SUMMARY
We achieved change in movement functions both on land and in water
Changes could be justified
Parental feedback is positive

ANNA
August: -Her posture became visibly better in two-three days. -She could began to walk and stop without assistance. -She could stand up and sit down without assistance. -She began to jump with parallel feet with assistance.
February: -She falls less frequently in uncertain balance positions. -When falling, she can protect herself effectively. -Using stairs, her walk is more dynamic, with alternating steps.
