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.This is just one of the multiple therapies he is going through.

Rohan is still struggling founding his voice due to verbal Apraxia. Now He will say B with prompt but thats about it.
I had my 75 minutes session with R. He did asked twice to get out of the room, but somehow ticking him distracted him back in the room.
I joined R in the playroom while R was having play-therapy session with his Mom. He was stimming lying down on the ground. As soon as I entered the room,he saw me and pointed towards the Ball ....prompting himself to make B sound.
I got the gym ball down from the shelf and we bounced on the ball. When I stopped bouncing he will prompt himself to say ''Ba', which means bounce him more.
In between the session I asked R to say more aa,ee and he prompted himself to say those sounds.
Once we were done bouncing the ball, he pointed at shelf to get the Potato Head down. We played with Potato head. The potato head game went for like 5-7 minutes and was interactive.
Once we are done playing with potato head game, Rohan was more into stimming. His stimming included climbing on the table and sitting down rubbing his toes, He was walking across the perimeter of the room. In between he will give me eye contact. But he did not wanted to play with any games. Maybe we need to just come up with more ideas for fun games for him.
Rohan's mom told me that they even got some feedback from the school saying that he is making less eye contact and is less interactive nowadays.
We are trying to figure out what caused this regression. Rohan is going though NAET therapies and is also on special diets and diet supplements.
