ELLI ROSE

Meet Elli Rose from Australia!

She started early intervention shortly after birth due to hypotonia (low muscle tone), swallowing issues, and developmental delays. She has been receiving speech therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupation therapy since she was an infant. She was also referred to neurology as an infant due to enlarged ventricles and megalocephaly (large brain). She has been through different genetic testing since birth. Finally, last year, she was diagnosed with Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome, just before she turned 2 years old.

Elli Rose is a bubbly and happy girl! We are so grateful for this foundation and the support of the other families as there is so much still unknown about SKS.
