Rohan has been going though NAET therapies also. In last month or so, we have seen some regression in Rohan's behavior in terms of interaction and eye contact. Rohan is still trying to find his sounds and is more comfortable with Ba sound. Though he is now exploring more sounds.
I have been busy in organizing fundraising efforts for Rohan, Any help will be appreciated at www.rohansjourney.com
Yesterday after gap of 2 weeks I went to Rohan's house to run my play-therapy session. Rohan came down with me to play-room with Pretzels in his hand. He sat down on the Blue Crash Mat and started eating his pretzel. He left little piece of pretzel in his hand and started stimming with it.
After that he took me towards the wall which had a crayon drawing of little spider. He was trying to take it down so I helped him. He pointed towards the other end of wall , basically trying to tell me to put it there. So I did.
After that he started running from one corner of the room to other corner. I joined him. In between I will get an eye contact for couple of seconds. So i will tickle him, sing him a song and at one point we holded hands and jumped on crash mat together.
At one point I was able to make him run on count of 1,2 and run.
He gave me a longer eye contact and I took the opportunity to ask him if he wants to play with "Pretend n Play vegetable cutter" - To my surprise he sat down and we got through couple of rounds cutting the vegetables.
Then he again got up and started running from one corner of the room to other.
Once the session ended, I asked him if he wants to help me to put the games back. He did helped me with one of the games to put it back on shelf, But after that he was lost again in his thoughts.
I am always trying to ask Rohan questions like - Did you goto school today ? Do you like going to School ? They are just questions for now, I am stillw aiting for the answers !!

Rohan is still struggling founding his voice due to verbal Apraxia. He tries to say B for everything nowadays
Yesterday I went for my session with Rohan. They whole session lasted for an hour. After that Rohan took me towards the door and asked me to open the door using sign language.
As we both entered the room, Rohan pointed towards the beach ball and I brought it down from the shelf for him. We bounced on the ball just for couple of minutes. After that Rohan started stimming.
In between when he will give me eye contact, I will try to sing songs to get his attention. I also pointed to certain games , but he seems to be not interested or paying attention. Rohan was just lost in his deep thoughts.
At one point - I brought the chalk board down and started scribbling on the board with chalk. Rohan came to me and he scribbled with me also.
After that Rohan went back to stimmimg. He got up and jumped on the floor for couple of times, I did the same with him.
In between at some point he tried to make some double sound like Ca ka. But not sure.
Rohan is nowadays more into stimming and not as much in playing. We have been trying to find things or toys that may catch his interest. Chalk board was a surprise to me, Hopefully Rohan can give me more surprises like that !!

WEEK 22-SON-RISE DAY 28 - Rohan was stmming but was aware of my actions

Rohan is still struggling founding his voice due to verbal Apraxia. He tries to say B more than other sounds. I heard him trying Va.
Yesterday after 2 weeks finally I had my chance to run the play-therapy session with Rohan. I went over to Rohan's place and said "Hello Rohan". He looked at me and waived with his hands. We went down in the playroom.
Rohan was stimming for about 60 minutes during the 90 minutes session. But he was exploring some voices mostly like Ba. I heard Va also when I sang the sond "Wheels on the bus go round and round" .
I had to give Rohan 2 cashews to come down and have session with me. Rohan was stimming with those 2 Cashews for the longest time. He was eating them like a birdie. He was rotating them in his fingers lying on the floor. In between he gave me couple of eye-contact but they were like for a second. I did tickled him, sang poem for him during those sessions.
Finally cashew were All done and in Rohan's stomach, He asked me to get the Gym Ball down from the shelf. I sat down and he bounced with me on the Gym ball. He was having very much fun with it.
After that we went upstairs.
Overall he was stimming majority of the session but still was aware of my actions !!
We always wait for surprises to happen when it comes to Rohan :)
Rohan is going through NAET therapies twice a week and since the start of therapies, we have noticed that Rohan has been stimming more and lost more in his thoughts. But at the same time he is trying more sounds, interacting more in other ways. We have also noticed that his appetite is little lost.
We will take it day by day and see what next !!
