When I got back from my trip Braydon and I had a meeting with Landon's teachers (including all the therapists that work with him at school).
The whole thing went really well. They said that Landon is very smart and is capable of a lot, but also has his own agenda (which we are FULLY aware of). They said that he is doing good with following directions. I was so happy to hear that because I have a hard time with him sometimes, so I was glad he's doing it for someone. :) He is doing great with sticking with tasks for a longer period of time and has good problem solving skills. He's doing really well with recognizing letters and numbers and some environmental signs. He's almost learned all of his shapes and can point any of these things out when asked. The teachers said that this is pretty advanced for his age and they didn't expect him to know these things coming into preschool.
His teacher, Mrs. Sanders, said that during circle time in the morning they have a sentence written on a board which she shows the class. She will have one letter missing from the sentence and Landon always seems to know the answer. She said that he tells the other kids they got it wrong by shaking his head no when they answer. He can show her the correct answer on his iPad. :)
Mrs. Sanders also said that Landon is very social with the other kids. He initiates playing with them by bringing them a toy or including himself in activities. She said there is still the communication bearer with his peers in keeping conversations going. I can't wait till we don't have that problem. We've been working really hard to teach Landon his iPad and we're going to try and incorporate some new signs into his language. I've been pushing him to try and say sounds vocally, but they are still pretty hard to understand. We'll get there with some practice.
I was so glad to hear that he was doing so well and that they had so many good things to say about him.
