Child with special need started walking on her own, with the help of teletherapy

Many medical practitioners, such as doctors, psychologists, and even physical therapists, are providing teletherapy to the patients to keep them safe in this pandemic. This method proves to be very beneficial for some people and especially the families who have children with special needs.


One Valley family recien=ved great results from teletherapy and found some positive outcomes for their daughter, who was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Pitt Hopkins syndrome.

Due to this syndrome 5-year-old, Alexandra did not have as much strength in her arms and legs as other children have.


Alexandra's mom Nicole Anderson told our team that their daughter is very strong and has to take physical therapy five times a week for an hour-long session. These sessions even continued after the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Central Arizona closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and families had to switch to online therapy.


After some days of teletherapy with her physical therapist Atelie Ho Lem, Anderson said, things changed for her daughter, and she started making efforts to walk in her own without much coaxing.


Ho Lem said after seeing the first steps of Alexandra that these moments were overwhelming for her.

"She is a sweet little girl that wants to move, she wants to play," said Ho Lem. "When I see them accomplish these milestones, it is just overwhelming," she added.

City of Tolleson is conducting local testing blitz over the next two days, especially of the JBS plant workers


JBS Meat plant has many employees infected by Coronavirus, but President Trump said that they couldn't shut down as they are essential to American lives.


Many employees said that they fear getting infected while working as the factory has a large number of infected employees and wonder why the company is not concerned about their health.


Now finally, after so many weeks, Tolleson is conducting local testing blitz over the next two days. Local traffic was closed for the testing of residents in the Tolleson Fire Station Thursday.


Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar was trying hard to get testing done in her city and especially for the workers at the JBS meatpacking plant.

It is expected to have around two-hundred positive cases inside the factory only as the testing took a long time to start.

"There's still fear, there's still fear," said United Food and Commercial Workers Rep Martin Hernandez.


Hernandez said that the plant was not telling the employees the exact number of cases, and the plant has a lack of transparency, which is unacceptable. He also said the blame couldn't be solely laid on JBS.


"Blame the company but also blame the state, cause the state has a lot to do with it, if the state is not putting pressure on these companies to be transparent to let us know, it's a safety concern for all of us, inside the plant and outside," said Hernandez.

As businesses anticipate COVID-19 lawsuits, liability waivers becoming commonplace 

It is expected that at the time of re-opening of businesses, the Arizonans must adjust to the “new normal.” This means that wearing the masks and maintaining the social distance. In case, you haven’t come across a liability waiver, you will be confronted to sign soon.

Behrens was approached to sign a waiver before observing his PCP a day or two ago. Behrens hesitantly signed the form. Steve Nielson in the interim, says he will never consent to his Val Vista Lakes Community Association waiver.

The Gilbert neighbourhood HOA at first sent a letter waiver without any dates and barely any subtleties. Nielson likewise said the record didn't specify anything about the proactive estimates the HOA was taking to shield inhabitants in the local safe from getting the infection.

That report has since been changed to be increasingly explicit and thin - legal counsellors state that is a need. On the off chance that you won't sign the waiver however, there might be repercussions.

Not all proprietors will implement the waivers, and it is indistinct how condos and HOA's will police things. Lamber likewise says you can generally push back in the event that you don't care for the language utilized in the waiver. There will probably be claims about these waivers planned for forestalling claims. Organizations will have the intense choice of gauging obligation assurance with the danger of upsetting clients.

Like obligation waivers, the marks alone won't keep the organizations from being sued, however, it might make it harder for somebody to indict them and win.
