Besides all other challenges the biggest challenge for R is finding his voice, He just says Baah for everything.
R's mother went for a week to get training from son-rise.org. Today in the session it felt like he was stimming more, maybe his way of missing his mom.
But we still had our moments, the fun and interactive parts.
R has gotten really good at dribbling the ball, With this speed and control over the ball he amazes me every time.
At some point when he himself asked me to get the flash cards. he handed me over the flash - card with Peas on it. I pretended to eat them and he was giggling when I was doing that. In between when I stopped doing that he will try to do that also.
R took out another flash card with picture of a house on it. He was making Baah sounds trying to show me something by pointing his fingers at windows,doors and stairs. After that he was stimming with the card by putting and sliding the card under his nose,eyes. I did the same with him.
R was into his new stimming today. R will lie on his back, with his legs bended and slide back and forth all across the room. In between I will be making some noises and he gave me a quick look. For once when I stopped making those noises he looked at me , pointing to me like telling me to make the sound again.
R did passed the big beachball couple of times to me.
After that he was into playing with the trucks. Infact he handed me over a truck also to play with him.
This was towards the end of session. I asked R to hand me each toy to put it back. He handed me each toy to put it back.
Something interesting happened, once we came out of the son-rise room. R loves to play with his sister's doll house. He likes to open and close the doors in the house. The interesting part - "R pointed me at windows,doors of the door house. And when I made the connection they looked same as on the flashcards !! "
Our biggest challenge besides all other challenges is to help R to find his voice !!
