dear Kelly,
It is the end of term. There was a meeting to review how I am doing. Here is the report
" Rosie has made signficant progress in her ability to concentrate on tasks, follow instructions, understand language and with her co-ordination.
Rosie has learned to sign 'please' appropriately however she tends to use this sign to request all deisred objects and has reduced her use of the 'more' and 'me' signs (well- why bother if just one sign well do? ).
We are now encouraging her to use two signs together, for example 'more please'. Rosie is now beginning to put two words together e.g. 'bubbles please'. She continues to sign 'toilet appropriately. She is developing consonant and vowel structures and can consistantly say 'ta' for guitar. Rosie is starting to imitate more which should help her develop her communication skills.
She continues to be able to activate her communication aid but requires assistance to use it in a functional way. Rosie continues to use Picture Exhange Communication System (PECS) and is working on discriminating between the pictures (level III).
Rosie has improved a lot in her spatial awareness and her co-ordination skills. She is very capable when climbing up and down a variety of different height steps. Rosie has recently started to learn how to jump on the trampoline and is becoming more confident with this skill. Rosie has plenty of time on the bike and is able to pedal 10 metres independently. Her next step is to gain an awareness of steering and control.
We continue to work on Rosie's toileting programme. She often has success on the toilet and particularly enjoys using toilets out in the community Rosie is able to pull up her underwear independently (Hey you, mummy, typing this, how embarrassing is this..).
Rosie can concentrate on tasks for longer periods of time which has had a postiive influence on her learning. Although her politeness and ability to wait have improved this continues to be an area that she needs to develop. "
lots of love
