ABA is underway!


We are up to 15 hours this week of ABA(5 days a week) and we will increase to 20 in the next 2 weeks. What can I say about it? So far, so good! He seems to like his therapists. They are all so very different from each other and have very different approaches with Nate, while still being consistant. Nate has been coming to the table with ease to "work" on puzzles, sorting, object labeling, simple commands(stand up), and imitation (touch your head).

Nate has also started picking up a new sign!! He is tapping the back of his hand for "stack" (as in blocks). If he continues I will be sure to get it on video. He has kept up with "please" and "more". When Nate gets frustrated he just starts signing "please" and "more" frantically because that is the only way he feels he can express himself!! It is quite sad actually. we are anxious to get him some more "words" so he can express his little wants and needs.
