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 !!
