I have decided to chronicle our days everyday for a year. This will give everyone that reads this a better glimpse into Carson's life, struggles and accomplishments!!!
Day 1: August 24th, 2012
Carson had a rough day at school. He is having a difficult time transitioning to his new classroom. We went out to dinner tonight and he had a big meltdown. He is usually very good when we are out in public so his behavior wasn't normal. I could not figure out what was wrong. Turns out he needed to go potty and couldn't tell me. I brought him out to the car because of his meltdown and he had a huge accident. I felt so awful!!! Communication continues to be a daily struggle. He has his ipad but is still learning how to use it. He is on a waiting list to start Speech Therapy & Occupational Therapy again. Hopefully something opens up for him soon.
On a positive note, Carson is now in a booster seat in the car and he loves it!!!
He's such a peanut!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the big boy car seat! I think the fact that he can communicate via iPad is so cool!!! Can you talk (at some point) at little more about how that works exactly??
ReplyDeleteHe has a communication app on his iPad. He is able to look at icons and request food, an activity, etc. There are several phases of it and if he is still non verbal when he is older he will be able to put sentences together on the iPad and have conversations with others :)
