Grace was exposed to as many things as possible that other children enjoyed and engaged in without any difficulties. Over the last six years of intense therapy, Grace has attempted and enjoys flying a kite, playing baseball and basketball, ice skating, riding her bike, hiking, skiing, paddle boarding, rock climbing, roller coaster rides, river rafting, indoor hockey, reading books, singing songs, playing Super Heroes, miniature golf, sledding, dancing, and being with her friends and family.
