Biography
Dora was born during the pandemic. She had a hard birth via forceps and the amniotic fluid needed breaking. Due to this Dora swallowed some during the birth and needed some extra breathing support in special care for 2 nights before coming back with mummy & daddy for another 2 nights. It was a hard time for us all in the hospital.
We noticed Dora’s stimming at 6 months old with her hands and when she became verbal she would stim verbally by humming which she has done all the way up to 4 years old (until now). She struggles to regulate emotions and becomes upset quite easily over small things that sometimes can be hard to pinpoint. We did reach out for support just before her first birthday but unfortunately didn’t get much until Dora started nursery at 3 years old when the school also noticed the same symptoms. She is now receiving 1 to 1 support with an ECHP plan in place within mainstream education. She is still in pull-ups with no interest in toilet training but we as a family are taking it all in small steps to best support her growth.
Dora loves Disney, animals, water, slime, any sensory play and music!
