Colin on the ball

This morning Christina came to help Priscilla and I work with Colin on the therapy ball.  It went okay.  Colin wasn't thrilled but Priscilla gave him a choice of stander, belly on the ball or sitting on the ball and he chose sitting.

Here he is:



Oh, and we had taken some time off from the new 'Wisp' mask.  He had done fine with it for several nights and then one night I had to come down at 1 AM and switch him to one of his other masks.  I put it on him last night while he did his shaker vest and he wasn't thrilled but when I promised him I'd play an hour of Batman wii with him after school the next day he relented.  And, he had a good night!

 Here he is relaxing with his new mask and doing his shaker vest while hoping I'll let him just be and not start getting him ready for the day.


Casey had a good day today.  I didn't even know but they went out in the community today.  He was supposed to go with the kids yesterday but we had the snow day.  I didn't think that they'd head out today.  Oh well.  They got dropped off at the Burlington Square Mall.  One of the other kids in the program (a guy) hung out with him.  Apparently, he did some great driving.  Maybe having another student there motivated him--who knows.  At least he did better than last time he went to the U Mall and had a meltdown.  He drove most of the length of the mall checking out store fronts and heading into some stores. Of course, many of the stores are not very accessible.  Pottery Barn and William Sonoma were too crowded for him to go into.  One store he went in to and did a good job backing out, according to Nancy.  Good for him!!
