So Nathan is one busy little man. His TSS hours are up to 20 per week and he is still getting 4 hours of other therapy each week. It is a difficult adjustment for him. He cries and latches onto my leg every time a therapist walks in the door and it breaks my heart. Although the girls tell me that once he is downstairs and away from me, he calms down right away (thank goodness!)I really like the team of therapists that we have right now. I think there are 9 of them??? They are all so different with some being calm and relaxed while others are upbeat and animated. I think we have a great mix.
I have worked really hard on creating a PEC book for him to learn how to communicate by using pictures. The pictures have velcro backs so that they can be removed and put back in place. I just started to work with Nathan yesterday on getting him familiar with what the PECS mean. As you can see by the video, he understands the PECS immediately and he is so very proud of himself and SO AM I!
