Meet Zig.

Zig is 5 years old. He’s a happy, bright child that loves to play and socialize. But he wasn’t always this

way. His mother Erikka had a difficult labor ending with an emergency C-section because Zig’s heart

rate began to drop. He seemed healthy, with high Apgar scores, but was not able to breathe well.

Erikka recalls that it appeared as if he was panting like a dog.

During his first year, he was often sick and continued to breathe oddly. Erikka was exhausted

trying to help her baby and she feared that he was in pain. He cried continuously and his head was

continually at a tilt, as if he was unable to hold it up.

Doctors repeatedly told her not to, yet Erikka couldn’t help but worry. Was Zig autistic? Or was there

something bigger going on? He just didn’t seem to be developing as a child should. When Zig was

5 months, Erikka was determined to find the help her child needed and contacted The Arizona Early

Intervention Program (AzEIP). AzEIP is Arizona’s statewide, interagency system of supports and

services for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities and their families. AzEIP

partners with Easterseals Blake Foundation (ESBF) in Tucson.

The ESBF therapist agreed immediately that something was not typical with Zig and for the first

time Erikka felt confident that Zig was going to receive the help he needed. He began working

with a speech and physical therapist and when progress was slow, Zig’s case worker recommended

an evaluation by a neurologist. The results astounded everyone. During Erikka’s difficult labor, it

was likely Zig had had a stroke. At 18 months, Zig was diagnosed with hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy,

dysarthria, and motor apraxia.

With a clear diagnosis, Erikka was able to ensure that Zig received appropriate treatment!

“I’m really thankful,” explained Erikka. “he has gown leaps and bounds and is a completely different

kid than he was a year ago. “

Through it all, ESBF helped Erikka navigate uncertainty and become an advocate for her child.

“I’m happy he got help so soon, the early intervention services have given Zig the tools necessary to

overcome what used to be significant weaknesses.”

These days Zig is thriving. He used to need assistance going up and down steps but now he’s

jumping and climbing and running like the other children.

“Easterseals Blake Foundation has changed Zig’s life. They were able to identify his issues and help

validate my concerns. We were able to intervene early enough so that here we are, we have a five-

year-old that is able to communicate his needs, self-regulate, and who can ride a bike!”
