Thompsons Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Levi had an assessment at school with someone from the Edwin Lobo Centre yesterday. He was well behaved and we've been told that he doesn't need speech therapy She watched him interact with others and observed him in his lessons and said that he does have issues with socialising which they're going to try and help him with. She also gave him some worksheets to do.. In one particular one he was supposed to tell the story of a man who fell overboard a boat and how the rescue people saved him. But it was all in pictures, so he had to work out for himself what was happening. And apparently he said "The man jumped off the boat to go for a swim and the rescue people saw him and said hello." I remember once I was trying to teach him about safety and I said, "What could happen if you fell in the river?" And he replyed very seriously, "You could get pecked by ducks." Does anyone elses child do this? It's like he doesn't see the full picture.. He doesn't think much about consequences. But anyway, it went well, apart from right at the end of the day when he was a bit argumentative with a little girl But all in all, I was proud of him! It's the first time they've ever had someone observe a child like that in the school, so I was pleased because I think it's a good step towards helping other children with disabilities too.

Thompsons Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for the reply We had a meltdown when he got home yesterday.. He took his Go Go Crazy Bones in to school (I hope everyone knows what I'm talking about! All the kids seem to have them) and he came back home with just 5 of his own!!!! Asked him where his others were and he started talking about something that didn't seem relevant. He finally said, "My friends said that it was okay for them to have them" I said, "Did you give them to them?" He replys "No, they took them, but they said it was okay". Then after explaining to him that it was NOT okay for the other kids to take his stuff, he just started crying - which in turn upset me I think he realized that they told him that because they knew he'd believe them and let them have them. I know how kids are, but it just really upset me that they were so manipulative because they know he's so vulnerable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
