Doris and Reina

Those of you who have been here to Casa to visit before probably remember Doris and Reina. They are sisters. They both had made so much process since being here at Casa. They both have learning problems. Reina really has come a long way and can add, subtract, write her name, and some days read and spell. A lot of it just depends on the day. Although we got her at a young enough age that we were able to start with her when she was about 4 years old. Doris we were not so fortunate with and we did not get her til she was about 10 years old. She has made leaps and bounds also. Although not too sure she will ever be able to write her name or read. She used to not even be able to speak and now she says words here and there. Hardly speaks in sentences but really has made progress.
They both go to Teleton once a month to help with their learning disabilities. They also both attend school. Not too sure how much longer we will be able to keep them in the school. Do not think Reina will be able to make it past second grade level. Doris only goes to school to be able to interact with others her age. She will be 14 this year. So not too sure how much longer we can be sending her to school.
