10.24.12 The Sequel: Day 3

One big highlight of today with Aimee was in her first appointment. The specialist commented to the others in the room, "This girl has potential." Of course, I already know that Aimee is bright and can learn, but it was rewarding to hear a stranger recognize it. With the right tools, Aimee will make progress.

Other fun things from today:
-Humor. Aimee has been showing her sense of humor during the sessions, today especially, and has the whole room laughing along with her.
-therapist noticed that Aimee knows how to move her tongue in ways that would enable her to make 't', 'd', & 'n' sounds.
-when leaning forward over a rounded cushion, Aimee put both her hands flat against the table in front of her
-pulling both shoulders back and sticking out her chest
-turning head back and forth from left to right a lot, as well as, up
-vision was really clear today, even seemed like maybe she could see a little farther away
-talking, so much talking!
-lifting both legs straight off the floor
-holding her left hand against her chest while in chair

Aimee also enjoyed going to the mall today and feeling different textures. As you can see, she fits right in here.
