Brandon's New Way to Communicate


Brandon has discovered that he can communicate by writing or drawing. This is something new for him. Before holding a pencil, crayon, or paint brush was not something that he wanted to do. He has problems with the grip. Lately he has been getting much better at holding a pencil or crayon and is more willing to try. I LOVE THIS NEW SCHOOL. The other day Brandon was building a card house with some cards we have from a game. He wanted the house to look a certain way, but he was having problems getting us to understand exactly what he wanted. He then went to get a piece of paper and pencil and drew a picture to express himself. I was floored. Jim then helped him build the house. I consider this a major step for Brandon. Way to go Buddy.

Hello Anne! I'm following your blog with much interest, in view of our similar challenges.

My son Kevin will be having his first IQ test tomorrow and we see the neurologist next week.

Good luck and keep posting!

Best wishes,
