Rebecca Pullen - An Alnwick Teenager with Retts Syndrome

Rebecca has Rett Syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder that affects females almost exclusively.  With Rett Syndrome, you think everything is ok and that your child is developing normally. Then at  around 18months of age,  a sudden and devastating regression of skills occurs. This has meant that  Rebecca has profound and multiple physical and communication disabilities and will be totally reliant on others for support throughout her life.  Amongst other things, Rett Syndrome causes epilepsy, curvature of the spine, breathing and eating problems. The syndrome causes great difficulty with walking and making fine movements such as pincer grip.  As the syndrome progressed, Rebecca’s purposeful use of her hands was replaced by purposeless, repetitive hand movements.  The inability to perform motor functions is perhaps the most severely disabling feature of Rett syndrome, interfering with every body movement, including eye gaze and speech. Rebecca will never speak.  She communicates in the main by finger pointing and eye gaze. However, Rebecca knows and understands much more than her body allows her to show - but they are locked in, trapped by a body that cannot obey signals from her brain.
 
We had a short loan of eye gaze equipment. This opened up a whole new world for Rebecca, her family and everyone else who supports her. The first time we heard Rebecca activate the eye gaze was for her to say, ‘my name is Rebecca.’ That was a fabulous moment. On another occasion, she was conversing with us about a hair appointment. She was adamant that she was finding her hair ’unmanageable’ and that all she wanted was ‘ just a trim’. She repeated this several times to us to make sure we got the message. Of course, it’s very important that a 15year old lady has her hair done just right 😊
The majority of people take speech and communication for granted. Rebecca needs the eye gaze, just to start these little conversations and to tell us what she is really thinking.

With the help of Alnwick Round Table, The Pullen Family are one step closer to raising the £8500 needed to get a life long loan of the EyeGaze computer enabling Rebbeca to communicate better. We have done this alongside the specialist knowlege of The Sequal Trust, who specialises in this equipment.

HippoTherapy Northumberland

We have donated to HippoTherapy Northumberland to support two local families through 6 sessions each of HippoTherapy.

It makes accessible a 'sport type' opportunity for physical, social, emotional development and enjoyment especially in children with disabilities. - breaking down barriers of isolation; encouraging communication and raising self esteem both in 'ability' and 'identity'. It brings Being Understood, Accepted and Valued - both in human and equine relationships offered. 

Therapeutic riding is introduced to children with complex needs using Hippotherapy to enable them to access this mode of input.

It uses stables with horses, assessed by a physiotherapist qualified in hippotherapy; requires a wheelchair-accessible mounting block ; indoor schooling area and specialist equipment, and a hippotherapy certified therapist to deliver the input.
