Being five months old Vašík underwent a neurological examination, the results confirmed the congenital defect of the spinal dysplasia.
As a result of that Vašík has muscular hypotonia and total plegia of lower limbs. Because he suffers from an extensive scoliosis he is unable to sit without a support. He has no fine motor skill, which limits his ability to use his hands. Today Vašík moves on a wheel chair.

Vašík is attending a second year of a regular elementary school. Despite all his troubles with finger control he learnt to write and draw. Regardless of having tracheotomy he learnt to speak excellently and he even sings. He is a very bright young boy who learns very well and is interested in the universe and loves computer games.

Last year Vašík completed few-week long therapy at neurological clinic Axon in Prague. Therapy was physically very strenuous and after a few days the outcome was apparent – better coordination of movements, strengthening of muscles and arms. Vašík’s parents would like him to go through this therapy again but unfortunately this therapy is not covered by the health insurance.
