“Victor, who is now three-and-a-half years old, has a a nose malformation as well as some social, speech, and learning delays. The Believe in Me teachers have implemented a special teaching plan for Victor that includes a lot of love and care. In the past, Victor has not been comfortable being touched. As part of the plan, the teachers began approaching him slowly by giving him baby touches and light massage that they learned during LWB’s Teacher Training Trip this past summer. They were excited that this massage seemed to calm his sometimes antisocial behavior. He began to feel more comfortable in class and has even started to say some simple words such as, “Papa,” “Mama,” and “Goodbye”! He feels great affection for his teacher Mrs. Tan who does the massage with him. What great progress for this introverted boy!” – LWB
“Victor is beginning to be more social in class and is finally participating in the team activities rather than just observing. Although Victor doesn’t have any special friends yet, his teachers feel that soon he will learn how to make friends. In fact, just today we smiled to see this photo of Victor holding hands and making friends with one of the new students in class!” – LWB
“Victor’s teachers are very encouraged that he tries to wash the dishes by himself, comes to class on time and lines up properly when doing physical exercise.” – LWB
Here is a video clip of Victor! He follows his teacher’s lead as he learns a children’s dance.
Dancing is Victor’s favorite activity at school.
