On with the new


"Shoes on!"


Tyler has made amazing progress the past few months. We have been able to ease up on his diet a little bit and go back to a gluten free/casein free diet. This is a huge blessing since we have been getting him into more social situations. Americans+food=socializing.

We also made some changes in school a few months ago. He is now attending afternoon preschool. This is one of the best decisions we ever made. Tyler is the only resource kid in the afternoon session. His resource teacher is amazing. I feel confindent that all of his needs are being met every day, and he is flourishing. He is beginning to learn to interact with his new friends. We are planning on adding some new goals for his IEP that focus on his social skills. I also have plenty of time to do ABA with him in the morning.

We are also working on self help skills. Tyler has been able to dress himself for quite a while, but he gets lost in the process. I have been spending a lot of time on the computer making visual aides for these skills. He has become a bit fixated on his "shoes on" chart.
