Alina's Story

Tiny, but oh so mighty!

“Alina Rose came out swinging at 4 lbs. 14 oz. six years ago and has been fighting an uphill health battle ever since. In addition to being diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called TBR1 related syndrome in May 2019, Alina has also been diagnosed with autism, focal epilepsy, hypotonia, intellectual disability and global developmental delays. She is non-verbal and immobile. Even with these multiple disabilities, she is the happiest little girl and continues to radiate joy and light to all who know and love her.”

–Alina’s mom, Katie

Alina has been part of our CTC family since she was a baby—receiving physical, occupational, speech and feeding therapy. Despite her multiple challenges, Alina continues to defy the odds by meeting and exceeding the many limitations that others have placed on her. She continues to gain strength and is now able to sit unassisted, hold a sippy cup, feed herself finger foods and use the potty with assistance.
