At Rowans Down Syndrome Awareness Centre, we celebrate every small victory, knowing that each step forward is a testament to the resilience and determination of individuals like Barongo Derrick. A year ago, Barongo embarked on his journey with us, enrolled in our speech therapy program, and today, his progress stands as a shining example of triumph over obstacles.

When Barongo first joined our center, he faced challenges with speech, struggling to articulate even a single word. However, with dedication and the support of our expert therapists, he began to make remarkable strides. Week by week, Barongo’s confidence grew, and his ability to communicate blossomed.

From struggling to say a word, Barongo now speaks with clarity and fluency, expressing his thoughts and feelings with ease. His journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact of specialized therapy in unlocking the potential within every individual.

But Barongo’s achievements extend beyond speech alone. Through our holistic approach to therapy, he has also developed newfound skills, such as identifying colors—a milestone that speaks volumes about his cognitive growth and progress.

Today, as we reflect on Barongo’s journey, we are filled with pride and admiration for his resilience and determination. His success is not just a personal victory but a source of inspiration for all those who face challenges on their own paths to growth and development.

With his newfound abilities and confidence, Barongo is now ready to take the next step in his journey—he is prepared to enroll in school, where he will continue to learn and thrive with the support of his teachers, peers, and the skills he has acquired through our therapy program.

With this improvement, we know that Barongo’s journey is far from over. With the skills and resilience, he has cultivated, we are confident that he will continue to achieve great things at RDSAC and inspire others along the way.
