Not wanting to pose on the first day of school
Bobby has had a full week of 1st grade under his belt. He has had a couple of trying behaviors, but is having some new found successes.
The biggest (no pun intended) thing...we stopped a new medication that we tried with Bobby over the summer. The only major noticeable difference was that he could not get full!! The poor boy wanted to eat all day and night. When he reached 80 pounds (a 15 pound increase in 2 months), we decided that enough was enough. He is now weaned off and eating normally. Hoping that the weight comes off easily.
A teacher that worked with Bobby during summer school, using ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is now coming into Bobby's classroom once a week to work with him. His autism teacher is also using these strategies with major success.
We met with a former WVU student that worked with Bobby last summer in the Life Sciences lab, using ABA. She has since graduated and only has to pass a test to get her BCBA (Board Certified Behavioral Analyst). She is going to start on in-home program with Bobby next week. So excited!!!
Bob is finally home!! He had to go to the Mine Safety and Health Administration academy for 2 weeks.
It has been a crazy, hectic couple of weeks. We have just been trying to get back into our school day routine.
Having an after school snack!!
