We had another session of Brooklyn's extended school year therapy program today. Mimi and her daughter Rachael came over with Nancy today - Rachael shared some of her adapted toys! (Thanks Rachael - she loved your school bus!!)
Also, I was SO excited...Brooklyn did some two-switch scanning today! I was so proud, it made me cry!
She used the switch to the left of her head (the one with the ball on the end) to scan and then the pillow switch behind her head to make her choice! It was amazing! When we visited Susan Norwell in Chicago she mentioned that two switch scanning should be a goal of ours -to be honest, I just was not sure Brooklyn would be able to do it, would she "get" the concept? Well.....leave it to my little girl to prove me wrong! Of course she gets it!!!
I know I have said it before, but Brooklyn continues to amaze me! Just one more way she has shown us all that she is "in there" and that she is so smart and is just trapped inside that sweet little body of hers - it is up to us to help her get her voice out - I am so thankful that God has brought wonderful people like Nancy and MiMi into our lives that believe in Brooklyn! WOW - what a day!!
