We thought Leyla was just an active child who loved to climb and flip. The NEFTCHI assessment revealed she had exceptional spatial awareness and flexibility perfect for gymnastics. Two years later, she's competing nationally and absolutely loves it. The detailed report helped us understand not just what sport to choose, but how to support her development mentally and physically.
