Weekly Update -- 16 - 22 November 2009

Yay, I'm 150 weeks old today!

Masinja had a pretty busy week this week. We went to speech on Tuesday and he had a hard time staying on task. He had a few melt downs because he coulnd't do what he wanted when he wanted to! Definitely channeling the terrible twos :o) His therapist found out the resutls of the Sensory Profile today as well. He scored significantly on it so now he needs to have a formal Occupational Therapy evaluation. Once that is completed he will start OT.

Masinja had his 24th ECI session this week. We discussed Masinja's sensory processing issues. His teacher is going to try to get the results of the Sensory Profile and share it with the OT that is on his ECI team and try to coordinate services for him. Masinja started spinning in circles when she was trying to interact with him and I told her that he had been doing so repeatedly several times throughout the day. She said that this is also a sensory issue. We also discussed the fact that Masinja has issues with perseveration. Basically, he gets stuck on a specific activity or insists on doing things a certain way and won't deviate. His teacher is going contact the school psychologist and see if she can come out and observe Masinja and maybe give us some additional strategies to help him.

This Saturday we started our trip home to New York for Thanksgiving. We left bright and early and drove to Ohio to stay with Uncle Gary for a bit before finishing the last leg of our trip. Masinja was great for the entire 14 hour trip. I'm sure by the time we head back to Nebraska he will be sick and tired of the car!! I know T.M. and I will be.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.M.
