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 !!
