Phase I PECS

In our therapy times, we had only one "communication partner." It would be the therapist during Woodjie's designated times during the week, or I would "reinforce" the PECs he would use. He can now pick the item or activity he wants out of several choices and request it using the picture. His therapists and I have mixed pictures and their order on his book in an attempt to discern whether he understands what he is asking for. Sometimes, he'll pick up a picture, pause with that "wait a minute" look on his face, put the picture back, and get the picture of the thing he really wanted the most.

  2. Never mind. I answered my own question by reading older posts from your blog. I find your homeschool and your work with the boys, especially Woodjie (I think because I have toddlers) fascinating. What's your daily schedule like? When do you fit in time to take care of housework or laundry? I know you must be incredibly busy. I just think you are great and I love the value you place in working with your kids. All parents should be as concerned and interested!

    Over the summer, I just pay Patrick a bit and get some schoolwork done. He is an excellent playfriend for the little kids.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
