Cayla Joy, age 4, Down Syndrome

We are finally playing with all of our fingers. And we can play with both hands, we just haven't put them together yet! Thank you for all your help!

I am SO happy for her!!! Sonya, you did a wonderful job!

Oh my! She did it! I know what it feels like to see a child with special needs progress. Seeing her playing with her fingers brought tears into my eyes. This is HUGE! We, well people may not have the slightest clue what this means to Cayla and her development, except for those who had the chance to meet special needs children and watch them shine when are stimulated properly and often enough.

Sonya, I know you say the Soft Mozart program is what helped her along with Cayla's passion for music but it's more than that, and we all know it. It takes patience, ambition to continue no matter what is generally thought about DS children and much care to help a child in such difficult tasks for her abilities.
Congratulations to Cayla, you and parents!

Cayla, I wish this is just one of the many things in your life that will break the misconceptions or 'well-known' facts about DS children. Show it to yourself you can do it and you'll show it to the world. Love and big hugs from far away!

Oh Cayla! It's beautiful! You have done an AMAZING job. Singing, playing the right notes and with the right fingers takes an enormous amount of brain coordination! Your practice and effort has clearly payed off.
Cayla you are a superstar! I am sooooo proud of you!
