I had a note from Brandon's teacher, she stated that Brandon has been filling in his agenda and remembering to bring it too her for a signature. YEAH Two years ago, he could not even fill out the agenda and get ready to go home. He had so much difficulty that his 4th grade teacher ended up giving his agenda to the girl next to him to do it so he could get ready.
This is something that we chip away at. It is not something that happens in a few weeks, this take years to develop with him. We are slowly making changes in how Brandon is learning how things need to get done. We are constantly trying to keep his emotional gap at the least amount of years behind his physical age.
I would honestly say he is still 5 years behind his age BUT there are times he is only 2 years behind. I need to keep this gap.... if we can we may have a twenty year old by the time he is 25. Is is realistic? I honestly don't know but I will keep chipping away.
His home base teacher is worried about high school.. and I had to say, I can't I have to worry about today and helping and assisting and knowing why he isn't getting what he needs. This is when constant reminders are so very needed.
I have learn with FAS child everything is REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT... and then REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT.
Life is black and white and you create a way to make their world that way while dabbling in what reality differences are... if that make sense.
On another note, Josh failed his hearing test on his left ear. So the nurses brought him in today to reevaluate it. At first they wanted to make sure he didn't have any ear infection or wax build up and No he did not.... I got a bit concern but then they re tested him and did a more comprehensive test and he passed without a problem. WHEH
