Mr N's therapist's supervisor is leaving the company and being replaced by an experienced therapist. Today for therapy we had his regular therapist, the old therapist, and the new therapist. Mr N did remarkably well for having a full house. When the supervisor accompanies the therapist there isn't a lot of work done with the child, they spend most of the time going over his progress and setting new goals. They are planning to adjust Mr N's goals since he won't say "mo" and various other things, but will say "roll", "dog", "cat" etc imitating the therapist. So hopefully his progress will show more on paper now.
I'm hoping with this goal adjustment that he'll continue to improve his vocabulary and increase his social skills. I wish there was just a bit more emphasis on verbalization and speech, even though it's not the therapist's job to work on his speech.
Today they suggested we have a sensory evaluation done to find out what kind of sensory input he needs. We could find better ways for him to get those sensory needs, even though he is really good at seeking out things that provide them, it'd be nice to have things on hand that would be easy for him to access.
