R was diagnosed with Autism 2 years backs. And recently got diagnosed with Apraxia . R is now 4 years old. We started SON-RISE program with R couple of weeks backs. SON-RISE is a Play-therapy program that I am volunteering for . The Play-Therapy is associated with son-rise.org to treat his symptoms related to Autism.When I refer to Stimming , it is the repetitive behavior R does while lost in his world
Garage Sale is over. We raised enough money to buy R a nice toy. I have not been participating in R's play-therapy session that actively, as my son Y keeps on getting this cough,cold and congestion due to bad environmental allergies. Ah, pook kids- cannot even say anything !!
Yesterday I went over to play with R, even though we only spent 45 minutes in the playroom.
R was on his swing. I asked him lets go to play in the playroom. I helped him to get out of the swing.
R played with Beachball and Trucks. His favorite games. R has gotten very good at dribbling. For next session I was thinking to remove the Beachball and Trucks. I wanna see what will he be interested next to play with !!
R asked me to take the stuff from shelf with just Baah sounds. We are still trying to figure out what will help him to make more sounds.
In middle he will come to me so I will give him High compression hugs and tell him "I love you sooooo much" !!
At some point I was able to draw his attention towards the flash card box. He sat down next to me. R started handing me over one card at a time. R will flip the card , starte at the picture, then flip it to look at the description. I did the same, He looked at me. At that time I took the opportunity to read him what was written on the flash cards. I was able to read him only one flash card. R handed me over about 8 flashcards, then he just walked away to play with his trucks
And after that we left the room.
Dear R , I am waiting for that day when you will start reading those cards to me :)
