Jesse on his astronaut board..... Gucci not looking all the thrilled lol
Turns out Jesse's Sensory obstacles ( in addition to Autism) needed some additional addressing. A few years ago we did this program for 2 years http://www.hope-future.org/ . Since he still had alot of stimming I thought maybe it was not doing so much so we stopped. Once we found out that the stimming was from food allergies (see previous post )http://dynamicdarrowduo.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html, I realized that the time spent doing brain exercises did alot for Jes and was useful. Hope and a future was an excellent program, but I found other things I could do on my own. Move to learn is a DVD program that Im currently doing together with Grace and Jesse. We also do some BalAVisX type activities ( http://dynamicdarrowduo.blogspot.com/2007/01/bal-vis-x-brain-gym.html ).
I just finished reading a book called The fabric of Autism. It is also about a Neurodevelopmental approach, but with a gentlier approach. At this point I cant afford to pursue this therapy...and Im not convinced that Jesse has not moved far enough beyond needed it...so we will just keep trucking along with his sensory programs as it. I take him to OT twice a week and we do exercises at home that include Move to learn, http://www.movetolearn.com.au/
An Astronaut board http://www.otawatertown.com/pdfs/newsletter-F2004.pdf......
http://astronautboards.com/ , Bal A Vis X http://www.bal-a-vis-x.com/,
and we will be doing another round of the listening program once September rolls around.
http://www.advancedbrain.com/tlp_intro.asp We saw great things with the first round! With this and lots of playground time, Jes is getting plenty of time getting the * do over* that his developing mind needs to overcome Autism! All the sensory help is helping him progress in RDI!
