Meet John
John’s parents have been utilizing The Early Intervention Program at The Arc of Warren County since December 2018 when he was just four months old. He was eventually diagnosed with a rare condition called Sotos Syndrome and Chromosome 931.1. Deletion. The family receives physical and speech therapy and information about feeding strategies from the Agency. John’s mom, Elysia, says she can’t say enough of the support that The Arc has provided to them. His doctors predicted that he would be 100% g-tube dependent for eating and drinking. This has not been the case as a result to the services that the family has received. According to John’s mom, the Early Intervention program at The Arc of Warren County has been life changing! Will you make a difference and help support The Arc of Warren County’s Radiothon by using the online giving tool. Please join us on June 17th for the 2020 WRNJ Radiothon programming.
