Andrew has had his first two therapy sessions this week. He did pretty great. He willingly ran to the back room when we arrived because he remembered all the fun things that were there when we previously went for the evaluation. During the second session there was a pretty minor meltdown when he didn't want to do a certain activity. He tried to head butt the therapist and then the floor. She reacted amazingly by telling him she understood he needed a break. She calmly sat across from him on the mat and gave him his favorite therapy putty for him to play with. Then she immediately joined in with the putty and within a couple minutes he was smiling and laughing with her! She just seems to have a way with him.
I LOVED watching through the little one sided window to see how Andrew is when I'm not around. I've never been to a place that had that before. I snapped a few photos through the window so hopefully they don't mind. We also got some at home exercises that we'll be trying this weekend as well as a CD to listen to daily that is supposed to have certain sounds that stimulate certain parts of his brain. We'll see how he tolerates that! Keep checking in for updates with us. We only have one session next week due to Thanksgiving but are excited to keep on going!
