Today we went for our weekly visit to see Chelli. We were chatting about how well Landon has been progressing over the past couple of weeks. She's been working on eating skills with him, like biting. We've eaten some pretzel sticks and today we worked with cheetos. Landon really liked them and eventually Chelli had to hide them so we could move on. :) We've been working on puzzles, coloring and strengthening Landon's hands with putting clips onto things. We've also been tackling self-help skills like taking a jacket off and on. He's starting to get it, but still needs some help. Overall, he's doing really well and seems to catch onto things very quickly. Lots of things to practice working on.
Saying that, Chelli suggested today that she might have Landon take the summer off from visiting her and then just see him once a MONTH in the fall! Since Landon will start going to half-a-day preschool in the fall, she doesn't think she will need to see him as often because of the things the teachers will be working on with him. He will also have an OT in the classroom that will help teach him. She said that she was going to test him on the things he is "supposed" to know to get an idea of where he is for his age, and we will go from there. If his scores are where they need to be, we will be semi-graduating from OT!!! Woo Hoo!! How exciting!
