[QUOTE="Malika, post: 533833, member: 11227"] Yes, what is functional communication? It sounds as if V has made real progress in lots of areas - this is very heartening and shows how much can be done with early intervention. The issues you mention - not understanding a big object will pass through a narrower space, coming up with practical ideas to solve problems, etc: what form of intelligence or cognitive ability does this rely on? Selfishly, I would be interested to know this because it is the kind of thing J is very good and quick at, where his intelligence seems to lie (whereas he seems so much slower when it comes to academic things like learning letters, etc). How is it a processing issue? Not to undermine the Occupational Therapist (OT) lady, who sounds great and you are happy with her, but I don't really get this. But then I may have processing issues myself :) What do you feel the goal over the next 6 months should be? What is realistic? I do hope you have a constructive meeting on Thursday. [/QUOTE]
