A Georgia woman must be doing something right if she draws accolades from another woman whose professional pursuits are the same.
Sharon Gaiter, who owns Kids in Motion in a rural region west of Atlanta, aids developmentally delayed children who are afflicted with physical and occupational therapy issues. Laurri Wallace, another physical therapist, organized a surprise party for Gaiter so patients, their families, her friends and professional peers could all thank her for the devotion she shows to the job.
“As a physical therapist myself, I can attest to the fact that she provides an amazing service and consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty,” Wallace told the Times-Georgian.
Children working on overcoming the effects of cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism are Gaiter’s specialty and she draws praise for her work and techniques. One mother of twin boys suffering from cerebral palsy said Gaiter is connected to every facet of the special needs community and she called Gaiter “superwoman.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cerebral palsy – a group of disorders that affects movement and balance – affects about one in every 303 children in the United States.
