a peek at Trevy's school week

Mondays

No official School. Instead...Jonathan drops Trevy off at Grams' house on his way to work.  Grams is in the process of equipping her finished basement into a School Room.  Grams is super creative and is doing a wonderful job!  She also happens to have a humongous backyard for PT time during the cooler months.  And a pool to splash in during the warmer weather!  Also...it doesn't hurt that Pop Pop (Trevy's current main squeeze) happens to live there too!  Our family is extraordinarily blessed to have local grandparents who are so involved...not just with Trevy but with all of our children.  


Tuesdays & Thursdays

7:45 - 9:45am ABA Therapy (during each session the last 30 minutes are spent in class during Circle Time)

9:45 - 10:00am Integrated (meaning 50% typically developing peer models and 50% students with special needs) Classroom time.  

10:00 - 10:30am Speech Therapy 

10:30 - 11:30am Integrated Classroom time 
Wednesdays

7:45 - 9:45am ABA Therapy

9:45 - 10:00am Integrated Classroom time 

10:00 - 10:30am Speech Therapy 

10:30 - 11:00am Occupational Therapy 

11:00 - 11:30am Integrated Classroom


Fridays

7:45 - 9:45am ABA Therapy

9:45 - 10:00am Integrated Classroom time 

10:00 - 10:30am Speech Therapy 

10:30 - 11:00am Physical Therapy 

11:00 - 11:30am Integrated Classroom


All that working and learning is followed by Trevy crashing daily from noon to 3pm!!!!  Sure it crunches the day.  But I don't really mind.  His little body is still healing.  And his little (can't believe he only has half!!!) brain is thriving!

Merely out of curiousity, what does one do in 15 minutes of classroom time? Is it more of a lesson in sitting still, or self discipline?

Elaine...I LOVE the long naps! Although...the past week we've been trending towards 2pm. :(

Mrs. M...and do I ever love me my break!

Anonymous...His 1:1 ABA session ends around 9:15ish. So from 7:45 - 9:15 he's 1:1 and then his ABA therapist joins him in his class Circle Time. Although the Trevy reality is...15 minutes sounds short but that's about his max of one activity at a time. Last year he was going for "walks in the hall" multiple times a day. Now that his day is more structured with pull outs...he is able to attend MUCH better during the classroom times!

Sounds very busy! Henry has now mostly dropped his nap which is an adjustment for me ;) but stops the early morning waking we had for a while.
He's nowhere near as busy though so maybe it'll come back one day?!

That's a very nice spread! Not saying this won't last but of course it will change - meantime, savor it. Barbara

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
