OLA had his second session with the OT this last week. It seemed to go well. Next week she is going to start him on some listening therapy. She tried it with him when we were there on Tuesday. It seemed to help him not be so reved up for about a day and a half. So I am excited to see if we get more long lasting results when he is doing it everyday here at home. We shall see?! But hoping it helps! It was so nice to have melt downs ease after just a minute or two. And not to repeatedly cycle. And he was so much easier to redirect. Keeping my fingers crossed.
And yesterday we got late notification that OLA was accepted in the one on one reading course that I had signed him up for. They had 84 kids sign up and only 14 tutors. So 70 kids could not be accepted into this special program. Initially we were among the 70 kids - got the letter at the beginning of the week. The coordinator called yesterday and ask if I was still interested - they had a last minute cancellation. Of course I said yes. I am so glad for small miracles. Even though he is currently reading at grade level he struggles to get there each year and once he does he struggles to stay there. So thank goodness for small miracles he will get a little bit of extra help this summer. It really worked last summer since he also participated then as well. Happy days!!!
