Eastern Standard Time, baldwinjbb@... writes: Thanks to you all for giving me HOPE again!!! There is always hope!!!!! Let me explain though, while yes she talking like a little chatterbox we still can't understand over 1/2 of what she is trying to say but even that is a huge improvement on before. Having her learn sign sure helps with the not understanding all her words. But the fact that she is communicating even if it is still mostly in her language we all now see that we were right that she does have the capabilities we just had to find the right combination for her. We are hoping by increasing her speech and OT that this will help it improve even more. You know that old saying: You can't teach a dog new tricks? Well they were wrong!!!!! Not that Trisha is an old dog in any way shape or means but you get the idea. As long as there is breath in your body it will never be too late and I sure wish people would quit making parents feel that if their child hasn't done something (talk, walk) by a certain age then it's too late. Of course everyone wants their child to be doing these things at an earlier age but geez sometimes it doesn't happen and you just have to keep trying different things and combo's and wait for that door to crack just a bit. Trisha may not ever be totally understandable and then again she might fool us all and become a professional speaker. All I know is that we had to keep trying that I could see and don't ask me how, but I could see that she had more in her than anyone thought and that we just had to keep at it no matter how long it took. We have a very long way to go yet, and we still havent' had a real mom and daughter talk yet, but hey for them to call her Ms. Chatterbox was better to me than had they given her the Title of Miss America. :-) Carol Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

You know I really don't know but will ask that, I know that they just started taking upper grade kids this year so I know they go through 12 grade. It wasn't until this year that took any kids over the elementary age and preferably even younger but they decided to open their doors to the older students and they said they are so glad they did and how amazed they were at how well the older children are adapting. Tell how proud I am of his accomplishments at the doc's and I'm so glad you didn't fall and yes please do rest we don't want you to have a set-back. Wow, it sure feel good to share good news and not only from my view point but knowing that others are seeing the change is so wonderful and I'm sure you guys were getting tired of my griping about the school for so long. lol Carol Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Got a chuckle out of that, hard to believe as you say. What new things will come up next, how wonderful.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Wow! Carol, What impressive news! You should consider visiting the old school that she had attended, once Trisha really gets into chattering more so that she could shock everyone out there on how much progress she has accomplished. Just kidding, you do not want her near it. Can you imagine other kids still falling behind because of the school being set still in their old ways and I'm so glad that you kept voicing your concerns and letting them know what you believed in. Question: Up to what age does the school that Trisha attends go up to? Reason I ask is due to the fact that most schools out here for the kids with autism or developmental delay go up to a certain age, there is a cut off? Hope not for Trisha, just asking. I'll be checking out The Autism Research Ctr. as I ran into meeting the director this past Saturday at the Conference that I actually attended this past Saturday now that my doc had given me the a-ok to drive and coming along well and now I will take advantage of a tour out there as they provide lots of services and one of them was educational settings. He would like to meet as he has the dual dx of DS & AU and he would like to hear more. Especially after hearing one of our local medical physician who had mentioned it at her presentation that AU could co-exist with another disability. Did I make time to thank her for it? Boy, did I! This morning at the doc's the nurse needed to draw some blood from and they had asked me how would I like to go about it? I told them to try it out with him sitting down and his arm resting on the table and he cooperated nicely and allowed them without any struggles. I was so proud of him even when they placed the cotton swab over it with some tape he did not have a fit. I was even able to give them a urine sample but they had to followed my method and that was no cup, no baggie for his thingie but one of those medical hat placed on the toilet and I would have to distract him from seeing it with his back to sit down and all the medical staff were surprised of this accomplishment and kept praising him for such a job well done. He did well because I had promised him tacos and sure enough he earned it. Just to know I was pretty upset for him peeing all over the ceramic floor yesterday evening and I caught myself from falling and I had to cautiously clean it up as I'm only allowed to do light activities and no lifting like carrying a pail of water but managed to clean him up and the dining room floor, such moments and what work in a slow mode. This morning paid off. Still working on these moments though. Hmm, maybe I could do a social story on it. I did request for an ARD meeting so that I could request for more services for him. I better get some rest, too exhausted now and later on will make the steps adding some exercise activities, like walking, just need to rebuild my strength. Too much to do. Lots of hugs and give Trisha a great big hug! So proud of her. Irma,17,DS/ASD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
