Spring is Here!!
It’s been quite some time since we’ve last posted on this blog. CiCi has been in ABA Therapy for almost 3 months now and we absolutely love it. The BCBA and the entire care team have been truly amazing with CiCi and we have seen so much improvement in many of her behaviors, her independence has improved, and she is happier now than she has been in a long time!
With the combination of full day school and ABA Therapy seven days a week CiCi can do many tasks that I thought she would not be able to do.
Here are a few accomplishments that she has made in the few short months of starting ABA. We are still working hard on fine tuning these goals…and she needs some guidance…but we are definitely on the road to success!!
- Bathroom routine
- Feeding self with a spoon!!!
- Knowing her colors (most of the time)
- Counting to 20
- Picture identification
- Putting on her shoes
- Transitions are much improved
- Utilizing her communication device
- Structured play / Table work
- Functional play
- Improved distance walking
- Increased tolerance for activities
- Patience has improved
- Focused!
CiCi has grown so much in the past few months as seen in the above picture from Easter. She is becoming such a little lady and continues to bring light, affection, and pure love to all those around her.
Although she does have her “off days”..she is doing great!! I wish I had the strength and perseverance to succeed like she does. She has 12 hours days Monday – Friday (school and then four hours of therapy) plus Saturday and Sunday therapies. She continues to keep that beautiful smile through it all!!
We love you CiCi and so proud of what you have accomplished so far!!
