First Visit with in-home Therapist

Logan had his first visit last night with our in-home specialist Michele from Step by Step Academy. Most of the process, she was talking with us about how he is, what we want, and what we should expect. It was a very productive meeting, and it feels like this is the first step towards mainstreaming Logan.

When Michele sat down with Logan, he took to her very well. He was still insistent that he do what he wanted. He did relent somewhat a couple times. Michele prevented him from using the computer (one of his favorite things) until he earned 5 stars in the boxes she had drawn. He didn't want to, but he did it anyway after some intial resistance. She also did some basic tests on him to check intelligence and some motor skills.

After all the intial items, Michele thinks that he'll progress very well. That makes me hopeful that he'll be able to make and have friends as he gets older. Michelle will be back on Saturday, which is awesome. We are willing to do whatever it takes to help Logan.
