Yeah, I scored a hat trick this time round!!

Johnny was awesome at clinic today. The consultant was quite satisfied with his progress this month eventhough his VI (verbal imitation) is not improving. Also, the consultant was saying that our pacing this time round is so much better compared to last month clinic. We would not rush Johnny and pace our time nicely. Basically, we were in control this time round instead of Johnny controlling us like last month. Johnny's mum seems quited pleased too about the progress. She was saying that Johnny was so much better behaved now and fuss much less. She mentioned that previously Johnny would always fuss at the zoo when he saw a tram passing but few days ago when he was in the zoo, he did not fuss and even sat on the tram. Awesome!!

Some new programs that Johnny has:
1)Operation (just like what Nick has)

2)De-structuring: This is the interesting one. His previous programs and therapy sessions were actually quite strctured but next month, we are going to make it less structured. I'm going to have therapy session in different rooms and also doing more out of chair tasks. He will also be moving around in the house doing tasks. I like this one cause this is something i've never done before. I would predict that there will most probably be more fussing as Johnny is actually quite a rigid boy.

3)Independent play:He is going to be taught more play so that he will not jump or run about in the house when he is free. I'm going to teach him how to occupy himself appropriately.

The above are the new programs that are incorporated into his therapy sessions, beside that he still has the usual 'matching, RI, RL, PVI, VI and NVI'
