SJ had his weekly speech appointment on Thursday. When he was finished, his therapist said they had a very good session. They continued to work on his writing of his Kennywood story. She said he didn't need as many prompts as he has needed in the past. She said he used his visual aid and was able to form his own details. They hadn't completed it, but it was almost done. This is an exciting improvement.
She said he was very chatty with her. I asked her if he told her about his horrible day that he had the day before. She said he hadn't. I was slightly relieved that he hadn't told her, but I then told her about his disagreeable behavior. She said he told her that we would be going on vacation soon. He told her that we were going to Williamsburg, Virginia. He told her that we were going to an amusement park (Busch Gardens) and a water park (Water Country USA). He was right. He forgot to tell her we would also be visiting Jamestown, Yorktown and possibly Washington, D.C.
"So I won't be at speech next week," he reminded her. He was right. We were scheduled to go on vacation the next week, so I did cancel his appointment. When I told her that we would see her in two weeks, she again told me how pleased she is with his improvements.
I love hearing those reports. It is nice to know that he is learning and digesting what she is teaching him. I will remind myself of that moment when he is having another not so great day. Hopefully, we won't have one of those days anytime soon.
