SUPER JOSIE!
I am going to make today's post a catch up on what has been happening in our Autism life... let's see...
We have recently had Maeve's IPP meeting with our representative from VMRC.
We now have a diagnosis for Star: Asperger's with ADHD and possible auditory processing disorder and we go back to Mind Matters on Monday 14th to test for that.
We have Maeve and Jo's IEPs coming up on the 18th so the team has been scrambling to get things done, we have been doing some speech assessments, the school nurse has contacted to catch up on their medical issues, Emily is hurrying to get her reports done, in a couple days our OT will be meeting with me to go over goals.
The girls are making BIG progress everyday! Maeve will consistently say "hi" and "bye" now and even has a few more words that pop up but aren't as consistent. Josie is talking a bunch more and it is not all echolalia but is more and more the generation of her own thoughts YAY! Maeve's stims seem to be changing...less ripping but more plucking of her toys fuzz, kitty fur (poor Fae) etc., less jumping but more pacing, and joy of joys she started a new one today (notice the sarcasm there) spitting, yes, standing and spitting down but trying to catch it and sift it like she does her beans and things. I am also trying to extinguish a behavior rather rapidly but at the same time trying not to give her attention for it...we will just say she gets into her diaper...
Busy days, good days, trying days, long days, but all are loving days :D
