At Every Turn: Victoria’s drive to thrive

Shortly after Victoria was born in 2019, she was diagnosed with Down syndrome. Often kids with Down syndrome have low muscle tone — and that was the case for Victoria. In her life, she struggled to learn to crawl and walk, but, now, nothing is slowing her down. Victoria’s physical therapist at Children’s Wisconsin connected her with Go Baby Go!, a partnership between Children’s Wisconsin and Marquette University that builds specially designed cars that help kids with special needs become independent.

Watch Victoria’s story to learn how her Children’s Wisconsin physical and occupational therapists have been there for her...at every turn...to help her become the thriving, active child she is today.

Children's Wisconsin

The Physical and Occupational Therapy team at Children’s Wisconsin focuses on helping children who have been injured or who have a disability to function as independently as possible. The team works closely with medical staff to provide treatment for children from birth to adulthood.
