Ksenia Is A Celebrated National Championship Clay Sculptor (Autism)

Ksenia was 4 years old when her parents learned about the Doman Method®, soon after she was diagnosed with Autism. At the time, she could not recognize numbers and letters and could understand only simple instructions. She had auditory and tactile sensitivities which made social interactions difficult for her. She could walk and run but not for too long. When she moved, her movements were disorganized. She had only two words of speech. Her fine motor skills were poor.

As soon as possible, Ksenia’s parents began to implement the holistic recommendations of the Doman Method®. They made changes in her diet and nutrition to support optimal health and immunity. Cognitive and sensory programs taught Ksenia to read, learn math and improved her focus and attention. The physical program helped Ksenia’s body to move in a more coordinated way with better strength and stamina.

At 11 years of age, Ksenia has come a long way. She can now read commercial books at her peer level and can easily have a discussion on them. Her understanding is at age-level and she does many activities on her own including crossing the street, taking care of pets as well as taking responsibility for doing her program with her parents at home! Ksenia engages in daily physical activities involving running, biking or skiing. She now has thousands of words of speech and holds conversations. You’ll see her hosting her art shows in the video with this story. Her manual dexterity has seen beautiful changes. She loves to write stories and fairy tales, and does so in neat, cursive handwriting.

Ksenia’s parents are proud to share with the Doman International team that Ksenia was recently celebrated in a news story in her home country of Russia. She is now a national champion clay sculptor, often beating adults in competitions. See Ksenia proudly display her artwork in the following video.

We wish Ksenia and her family every success!
