First Day of ST
#161 First Day of ST for Zora. She was very, VERY shy. I had to hold her on my lap to do the testing, and after she finished, instead of just heading home, we stayed in hopes that she would warm up to the therapist a bit better. It took a while, but eventually she did, playing kitchen. Then she didn’t want to leave. (taken with the cell phone)
on a similar note, I got the pictures off the phone from Zane’s first day this semester last week.
So, wait… what’s up with Zora?
She isn’t autistic at all, but has some difficulty with articulation type issues. She drops entire phonetic groups and uses way more substitution sounds than she should at her age. She also appears to have a bit of a verbal receptive delay. I figured out that she is reading body language in some cases instead of understanding the actual words. None of it is super serious, at least compared to where Zane is at, but she is really hard to understand.
