School Success

I'm very happy to report that Raquel did well at school this week! What a relief. It's been such a long process it seems. She will have PT (applied physical education) once a week, speech twice a week, and occupational twice a week. There is also a behavior therapist, but I don't think she has regular times.

She had her first applied physical education session with Coach Tim on Tuesday. He said he didn't push her too much, but she displayed no behaviors - not during the session or in the classroom afterwards. Yesterday, Raquel actually fell asleep in the sensory room when they put her in the ball pit. She was playing around in it and then all of a sudden got really quiet and they realized she was sleeping. Today, she fell asleep at circle time. Hopefully sleeping in class won't be her normal thing. :-)

I also spoke with my new social/case worker at Regional this week. Her name is Heather, and she'll be coming by on Monday, March 9th, to meet with us and go over Raquel's goals for the next year. I think I will have her until Raquel turns five.

It's been a very busy but productive week. Looking forward to a quiet and restful weekend!
