Five year old Tiyana Sarangan loves to play...
inside
and outside
She is an energetic kindergartner who first showed signs of autism when she was a year old.
Throughout the years as Tiyana received services her mother Nancy wanted more for her daughter.
She wanted to be able to help Tiyana more at home...
That’s when Tiyana and her mom started working with Dr. Tracey Hoffman from the Goodwill Easter Seals
PLAY project.... and the progress began.
Dr. Hoffman showed Nancy ways she could help Tiyana through play,
whether it’s with dolls or just jumping outside on the trampoline.
Through the PLAY therapy Tiyana is able to make better eye contact and her language has
improved
Best of all Nancy feels like she is able to help Tiyana throughout the day
and is a critical part of her therapy.
Nancy has more hope
and Tiyana...
Tiyana enjoys her playtime.
