Rohan has been going though NAET therapies also. And we noticed some regression in Rohan's behavior in terms of interaction and eye contact. So we reduced the therapies from twice a week to once per week. And we can see that Rohan is more interactive. Rohan is still trying to find his sounds and is still more comfortable with Ba sound. Though he tried saying Ba with three intervals like trying to make more words.
I went over yesterday to run another therapy session with Rohan. He was not ready to come down to playroom even when I tried giving him cashew. Finally I tried giving him Pistachio and he came down with me to playroom.
He started stimming with food in his hand, so I joined him also. He was trying to put pistachio nuts on his legs and enjoying the moment as they fell on the floor. I did the same thing using plastic ears borrowed from Potato Head toy !! He immediately noticed me and I used the opportunity if he wants to read Dora Coloring Book.
He immediately got up and pointed at the Dora book, even though it was hiding behind the other toys. he knew where the book usually is so pointed in that direction, even though book could not be seen from the shelf. I got the book for him and I asked him to do some coloring in the book, asked him to show me Baskedball in the book. So he followed my instructions happily.
Rohan was now again sitting down on the crash mat playing and stimming with his food. This time I joined him again. He finished eating his food and now wanted to go out of the room. I made him understand and distracted him to play with me on chalkboard.
He came towards me and took the the chalkboard from me. I got the chalks and told him "I will draw a nice house for you with Teddy bear next to it". I did my drawing and he was watching it. Now I gave him colors and asked him to color different parts of the house like window,door,chimney etc. He will try to color by drawing a line in the house with chalk, and stand up and jump.
I made that into game to "Dance". Anytime he will listen to my instructions and color , I will stand up with him and dance. He enjoyed it . This went on till we came out of the room. In between he will come to me and try to put his head into my legs like asking me for hug.
In between we also played the running game, I will count 1 to 5 and we will run on "Run".
Overall it was a very good interactive session. Looks like if Rohan can get his words we can play more and more !!

WEEK 25-SON-RISE DAY 31 - Rohan was more playful
Rohan has been going though NAET therapies also. And we noticed some regression in Rohan's behavior in terms of interaction and eye
contact. So we reduced the therapies from twice a week to once per week. And we can see that Rohan is again more interactive. Rohan is still trying to find his sounds and is still more comfortable with
Ba sound.
I went downstairs with Rohan in the son-rise room. Rohan pointed at the Gym Ball making "Ba" sound. I took the Ball down from the shelf. He was pushing me in gentle way like telling me "sit down on the ball". Then he sat in my lap and again made B sound. This was indication that Rohan wants to Bounce on the ball. Rohan seemed very happy while bouncing on the ball.
In between when I stopped he will get down from the ball and will run around the room. He will eat his chopped fruit from the tupperware using fork, drop the fruit on the carpet. He tried to put fruit back in plastic tupperware but won't like it sticking to his hand. He will close the tupperware, and if it wont close would get frustrated. I will ask him if he wants help and he will use sign language to tell me 'Ye's. After that we will bounce on the ball again.
Above cycle went like 4 to 5 times.
At one point he sat down and started stimming with food in his hand. I took some toys in my hand and joined him. When ever he looked at me I will try to grab his attention to play some other game. And we ended up reading "Dora" book. Rohan even pointed at the Ball in the book and then pointed at the ball in the room.
Rohan did scribbling using colors on the chalk board.
After wards we started running game. I will count 1,2 and run . And we both will run to other end of the room. Afterwards I changed the count from 1 to 5 and run. Rohan enjoyed this game also. It seemed we were back to old days, days before the regression.
In between Rohan wanted to come out of the room. he tried for like 15 minutes. But I praised him, made him understand. He did cried little bit for not letting him out of the room. But finally after 15 minutes of try he was fine again and back to the running game.
Now he just wanted to stay int he room. Time was up so I asked him "Lets Go out of the room" .
It was wonderful session. I am just hoping for Rohan that he can say more words :)
