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
Besides all other challenges the biggest challenge for R is finding his voice, He started trying more sounds with the help of Intensive Therapy.
Usually I go for my therapy sessions on Wednesday, But sometimes I get bonus round - a playful priviledge to spend more time with R .....Always Fun.
Yesterday I went to my sister's house. And I volunteered to play with R in son-rise room. R was trying to take his mom in the son-rise room also. But at some point , I told him we will bounce on the Ball, R went with me downstairs. But when we came inside the room, R did not enjoyed sitting and bouncing the ball with me. I came to know afterwards that R likes sitting in the lap , facing towards the person and than bounce off the ball.
Oh, I am sorry my little,dear,cute - R .
But we did enjoyed pretend n play with Vegetable cutter. R even tried to make sound for Ah and Ba.
The first half session was little rocky, I felt he was not enjoying and that's why he went to stimming. At one point he even gave me sign language to go out. Not sure if he was tired also. But second half of the session was really fun. We did not even realized when R's mom came into room and reminded me that it was getting late, I should go back home to take care of my family :)
Dear R, You are always FUN, If someone is not realizing that they still need to know you, understand you :)
