Virtual School is hard, have less than a month left and she’s very used to her schedule but it’s still hard. Keeping Emma sitting in a chair (without Dora on the iPad) and staying engaged with her class work has been a struggle. Add on barking dogs, both moms still actively working during class sometimes, and throw on the very loud construction happening next door for the past month it’s even harder. There have definitely been days where she only lasts for one or two centers at most, but through it all we have seen so much growth!! Last summer Emma wouldn’t dare touch something as sensory filled as Braille paper, touch paint, or hold a maker for 5 seconds, those were not even emerging skills she had. But she has made progress and now loves Braille paper so much that it lead to her very first time finger painting because she loves the feel of the paper. I know her past therapists have to be proud because before school started she would barely look at a piece of paper, let alone hold one!! As I sit and make notes for her upcoming IEP meeting these things have been in the forefront of my mind. And I am beyond proud of my girl for the amazing things she has been able to accomplish! #emmaleimomi #mygirl #specialneeds #developmentalpreschool #nr2f1 #bbsoas #boschboonstraschaafopticatrophysyndrome #CVI #ONA #ONH #sensoryprocessingdisorder #spd #autism #autismspectrum #asd #hypotonia #developmentaldelay #gtube #keepmovingforward #IEP #iepprep #braille #virtualpreschool #foundationforblindchildren #OT #occupationaltherapy #speechtherapy #physicaltherapy #musictherapy #pettherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/COJ-602swIg/?igshid=qb6ltdfw24ja
