Mixed bag yesterday, although Emily's note was that, except for one sensory issue, Josh worked hard and had a really good day at school. The not so great - a girl was getting her lunch card and got really close into Josh's space - he pulled her hair (actually got some hair in his hand!). The girl was OK, and the note was the she doesn't understand too much anyhow. Emily said they didn't give Josh a time out or punishment because they all saw what happened and knew that it was a sensory response to her coming so close. I know she was at Josh's birthday party and she does like to come in close to everyone. But, I sent a note back saying how can we work on this with Josh. Is there a desensitization that we can work on, etc.? Josh also seems to be having a hard time around lunchtime - a couple of meltdowns then. Wonder if he's hungry, thirsty, tired, whatever? The rest of the day he works hard, participates (yeah!), works well with the staff and sometimes peers, gets praise, puts forth effort, etc. So, what is happening around lunchtime?...
The OT session yesterday was canceled because of the insurance snafu - sure hope the speech eval next Wed. isn't canceled as well. The OT is trying to work out the snafu, so hopefully it will be and Josh can continue with the therapies - working on that space issue with OT would be good.
Josh had a great day with buses again - right on, no overload at all in the a.m., and right off with no overload or anything coming home! Yeah!! We goofed around for a little bit and I was famished so we ate early and Josh fell asleep early - never a good thing since he was up early this a.m. (Day 95).
Can't wait for the weather to change - this humid rainy stuff is exhausting! So, into Day 95!
