Well I have been quiet the last couple of days and admittedly they have been pretty full on lol. My house inspection went really well and I got approval to install a security screen on Callum's window so there is no chance he can jump or fall out! She asked me if we had a pool and I said no but where is the form to put in for one lol. It has been a fun ride I tell you what and only a couple of days have passed.
Cal's first EVER play in the playground at lunch yesterday with all the other kids 100% success and he had a ball! This was one of the biggest steps for him since he has started school because he was never given a chance to be included. Two thumbs up for yesterday! Here's hoping that tomorrow the same thing occurs. I want the best possible outcome for my son at school. Having say that after his psychologist appointment today my high hopes of his school started to tick me off again.
At his first appointment I was given a heap of paperwork for his school full of strategies to try and use when one of his triggers started and told them to give his psychologist a call. Three weeks later and she still hasn't heard from them. Patrick gave her Callum's Behaviour Support Plan and she has added to it which is good. Also found out today that Cal has no concept whatsoever about emotions :( or their meanings. This did kind of upset me. He doesn't understand what happy or sad or angry actually mean. My years of thinking he isnt so bad he will be fine is slowly dwindling out the window. My son needs help and fast. He can tell me that he is angry but doesnt understand why and its heartbreaking. There must be so much confusion going through that little guys head.
Fingers crossed within the next couple of days the CAT-Kit that I brought arrives and that should help a lot. Once I sit down with Callum and work through it I will give everyone a report on how it is working out. I have also brought him a squishy stress ball to help him when he gets frustrated but he thinks it is just a toy so that will definately be one we have to work on. I am still on the hunt for a good Occupational Therapist and am getting absolutely nowhere. I have an interview with one of the HOSES at a nearby school with a proper SEU in the school on Friday so will see how that pans out. Hopefully the future is starting to look brighter as of tomorrow :)
