Taking the Scenic Route

I am too tired to really post much, but it went a little better. 

One good thing, the gym teacher is not the one he had on orientation day, and I like him.  Zane actually listened to him well enough to do the go-freeze game.  He wasn’t nearly so wordy about it, just showed the kids what to do physically instead of beating it to death with words while the kids sat and listened.  Zane still needed quite a bit of guidance to listen through most of the class, but it wasn’t like pulling teeth this time.

He also did a lot better with scissors skills and coloring, and standing in line (that got a little less successful as the day went on, but still better than yesterday)  He was able to hold his hands behind his back this time too. 

I do like his teacher.  She seems like she will be a good match for him.

Zach is still sick, but he woke up with a 100.9 degree fever today instead of the 103+ he has been waking up with, so that is good.  I am getting a cough, but so far no fever.  Zach didn’t start really coughing until yesterday, so maybe I won’t get what he had and it is just sinus drainage from allergies or something.

Zane did really well in ST tonight, even asking, without prompts, for the ST to “tell me again” when given a 3 step direction.  He was able to follow 3 step directions on several trials today, which really gives me a lot of hope for him being able to handle school much better once the visual supports are in place and he is more comfortable.   He also added some novel modifiers to scripts.  Very cool.
