[QUOTE="nvts, post: 109098, member: 3814"] Dara: I can tell you what to think about Sammys future - it's the same as anyone else's. See, we don't know what's going to happen from one day to the next. One of the parents in our neighborhood had a easy child. Athlete, popular, smart. Freak accident, hit head now has the mind of an 8 year old in a 17 year olds body. Sammy is getting the love and support of you and your family, the professionals working with him and the environment that he's being educated. difficult child 2 had a horrendous speech delay. If he had to go to the bathroom, I had to walk him thru, step by step what to do or he'd forget a few simple steps like pulling down both the outer and underpants. The suggestion of writing Social Stories for Sammy is great. There's a website that will do a freebie for you and it gives you great insight to how to write them (they personalize it so the individual child gets excited). Here's the link: [url="http://www.sandbox-learning.com"]http://www.sandbox-learning.com[/url] Update to now: He's testing on the superior range and all of his IQ tests, he talks very well (still some delays, but not significant) and has a great sense of humor. He's starting Social Skills classes in February and things are looking up. You're doing all the right stuff right now. Work with the clay today, and you'll have a vase in the future. Beth [/QUOTE]
