Cool things

Drew did a couple cool things this week in therapy. We attend Crawl, Walk, Jump, Run Therapy Clinic and are blessed to have some of the most skilled and creative therapists in the world. They are encouraged to treat the whole person...and are reallly in tune with each child and adult they treat.
They make therapy fun!
Anne, the Awesome OT was working with Drew, and she was counting to 10. She stopped at 9, repeating 9,9,9 and he looked at her and smiled, as if to say 'ummmm, you are doing it wrong!' :)
THEN, she was spelling his name out and she purposely didn't put the E in his name. He said 'neh', meaning 'no'. I am so proud! I knew he knew numbers, but didn't realize that he could recognize his name, enough to know if it was correct.
I wish there was a way to test these kids that are trapped in bodies that don't work correctly. Their receptive language is very good--but since we can't know what they know, we keep the faith and keep celebrating the tiny victories.
