Speech & Hearing trip

Today was a good day. I was suprised too. I just had a feeling that William was going to show out like he did on monday. He actually did good. He liked the Pathologist ~Mrs. Mandy~. She pulled out a box of different toys and tried to get William to interact with the toys. Like feeding the toy bear with a spoon and giving the toy bear something to drink, Instead..William threw the bear acrossed the room and told me I ready to go.. Mrs. Mandy didn't give up so easly. She got out a ball and william and her played catch for a few minutes. William was laughing and asking for the ball. She said he made good eye contact..Which is a good thing. Most children w/ autisum don't like to look you in the eyes. After he got bored with the ball she started blowing bubbles. He loved that. He asked her to blow more. I thought at one point she was going to run out of breath. Then she pulled out a picture book. She asked William to point at certain pictures. Which he had no intrest in doing. Even though I knew he reconized most of the pictures and would tell me what they were I couldn't help him out. I wanted to help him cheat but.. I couldn't. I was asked no to help him or say anything to William while she was testing him. She gave him blocks to stack. William lined them up and them put them back in the box they came out of and closed the lid. She said william would need speech therapy twice a week and occupational therapy also. She suggested William learn sign language. So I'll have to learn it too.. She said that the school that William will hopefully be attending does their own therapy. YAY! I won't have to drive back and forth to savannah every other day. Hopefully it will all work out. But I'll keep you posted. ~Amanda
