It's so frustrating because how is she suppose to make up all this ground if she can't sit still long enough to learn. And as you know...I know EXACTLY what you went through with that therapy session.

Sometimes the hardest things to learn is to continue to hope. I too, get negative very easily!

If I may be so stupid to ask, is it because there is virtually no left side of the brain to direct the right side? Is the therapy trying to strengthen the right side to compensate? <br /><br />Seems like everyone would feel better if you started on a small positive note, did the 'tough' session in the middle and ended on a positive side at the end. I think Trevy would feel better starting with success rather than with frustration and inability. And everyone would better access cognitive, or otherwise.<br /><br />Sometimes when I use my dominant hand first, my other hand learns from what the dominant one can do. Think of it as learning to be ambidexterous. Try using your non-dominant hand to write (OK, just grocery lists at first) and cooking (be careful with your knives). It may give you some more insight and creative ways to help Trevy with one of his many challenges.<br /><br />Best wishes, CBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
