Some fun stuff from Kai's iep meeting the other day. First, it sounds like we get to have Michelle with him again next year. He's having such a great year. We found out he has been working with the speech therapist learning to use augmented language with an iPad and doing great with it. He is able to put full sentences together with it! Then the iPad speaks for him. Next steps are to try and teach Kai some skills with his cane so he can get more comfortable with the cane in general and ultimately feel more comfortable walking in new places. This is the email message I just got from his teacher:
"You should have been flies on the wall today!! Michelle, brilliant Michelle, had attached dinosaurs all over Kai's cane (see attached photo) so that he would feel more positive about learning to use his cane. She had a song from Youtube about a Dinosaur Walk and it was so catchy and fun! Kai would make the dinosaurs walk with his cane while we all danced and sang along. It was a very dear moment!"
How fun is that?!
