We are having some serious arguments about what clothes he will wear! At first he wanted heavy sweaters or sweatshirts, (but not his coat for some reason?) now he is into stripes! We are having to hide his dirty striped shirts in the bottom of the hamper, because of the terrible melt-downs he is having when we won't let him wear the same shirt again and again and again!
He seriously broke the laundry sorter last night trying to get to a striped sweater of Caden's that he has worn almost every day this week.
He has been wearing a stocking cap a lot though, and that seems to calm him down. Even the teacher has him wear it at school!
We had a meeting with Waylon's teacher and program coordinator at ABCnD last week, and I wanted to share with you guys the results of his last evaluation. Below are diagrams of the ABLLS testing they have been doing over the past couple of months at ABCnD. The therapists tested Waylon in 25 areas, and categorized what developmental level Waylon is at in each category. The chart begins at the bottom with very simple skills, and progresses to the top which are basically kindergarten level skills. The shaded areas show skills that Waylon has mastered in that category. Notice that in some areas Waylon has very few shaded areas (Vocal Imitation, Group Instruction, etc.) and in some areas Waylon has quite a few shaded areas (Gross and Fine Motor skills, even his Receptive Language scored well!).
Basically, we have about 18 months to get as many of those boxes filled in as possible. Waylon's teachers agreed he needs a new treatment plan, and we went over new goals that they will be working on with Waylon. When it is time for Waylon to be evaluated again, they will mark the boxes in a different color so we can see how much progress he has made!
