So we are all still alive and well in the Katzer house. I know it's been a while since I've blogged, so here's a quick catch-up on our lives the past month.
After our visit with Dr. Hoffman last month, we decided to make some serious changes in Waylon's therapy. Travis started a new job with long hours, and my classes kicked up a notch, so getting him to and from ABCnD Autism Center was no small feat. We decided to try a different ABA program for Waylon 5 mornings a week, and having him go to afternoon preschool every day.
After just two weeks at Autism Concepts, Waylon is doing awesome. We had an IEP meeting this week with his teachers at preschool, who said if he worked as hard as he did last week for the rest of the year, he will make huge progress.
We did a week trial off of the artificial colors diet, and decided it was worth it to go back on. His teachers feel like he is more focused and works harder when he is off artificial colors.
The other night the kids were watching Dora and Waylon repeated every word Dora said. It was music to our ears!
So thanks to about 50 people who are helping us by watching the kids, hauling them to and from school and daycare when I am at school, and working with Waylon, we are trucking right along.
In the meantime, we have been working on finish Waylon's room and turning it into a "therapy room" for him to work with his speech teacher. Pictures to come!
