Homework

We have been working very hard on all his exercises... he gets homework from Speech, OT, and now Dr. Kaplan for his eyes! Did Mary and Russ tell you about Dr. K? I am very excited about this... it is one more step in improving Mike's sensory integration. We have done the exercises several time wearing his special funny glasses and he's already improving! I wish he lived a little closer to me so I could do his homework with him every day. It is such a joy to see him doing well and really enjoying what he's doing. He was cracking up when we were bouncing the ball back and forth. If you guys see him soon, play ball with him. It's a great time!

Here's his homework list:

• Whistle blowing for Speech
• Ball bouncing back and forth
• Zoom ball (football on strings)
• Bean bag toss (with glasses)
• Sitting on opposite chairs (with glasses)
• Sensory activities - beans, rice, fabrics, floam, putty, shaving cream, etc.

Then there's his chores!

• Putting away silverware
• Carrying in groceries
• Carrying backpack and tape player

So he's a busy boy! More pics coming soon, I promise!
