Description

Julian English was born 15 weeks early at 1 pound 15 ounces, on January 25, 2004, and spent nearly 5 months in the hospital. He was diagnosed with Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL) after suffering from a Grade 4 brain bleed on the left side of his brain and a Grade 1 bleed on the right side.Simply put, PVL has been described as brain damage. Julian wore hearing aids for the first two years of his life, and has minor physical issues including fine and gross motor skill difficulties. Evidence of the brain damage was also presenting itself in the form of emerging learning disabilities. He was not able to grasp the majority of educational concepts taught in school and was easily distracted and lacked the ability to focus on tasks. In a world where we like to categorize people and put them in boxes, there is no place for Julian. Although a few doctors have implied that he is on the autism spectrum, there has not been a definitive diagnosis. How do you help or fix something when you do not know what it is? Due to the fact that this is unknown territory, his devoted family embarked on a journey to give Julian opportunities to maximize his potential in life.No Limits: No Boundaries! My Journey Through the ABC's illustrates one of the solutions his mother, Natasha Moulton-Levy, devised to help him. It is a simple game. For parents who are having challenges teaching their children the alphabet, choose a city or an experience near you for every letter in the alphabet so your child can use associations to learn. It works well with letters and colors, too. Your child does not have to be disabled to have him or her learn in this way. Look up new experiences, cities, and travel by using your imagination or by watching videos.This heartfelt and inspirational book of a family's love and dedication so everyone can learn from their experience in order to help any child meet their potential.
