Today I went up to Owen's ECIP for my first session of 'My Time' which is a government initiative to help parents of Special needs kids to learn some skills/talk to other parents, etc. A couple of teacher Aides mind the children during this time. I really enjoyed it, we had some help making and laminating little pictures to help us communicate with our kids. They use a program called "boardmaker" which has little simbols/pictures of various things like household routines (brushing teeth, etc.) I made a little strip of pictures to put in the car to help Owen when we go out. I find it quite a challenge just getting him into the car. He tends to just wander and get distracted on a toy on the floor of the car, etc.
Joshua took along his school work and complete with some classical Chopin music on a little MP4 player (he calls Chopin "Cho-pin") he managed to write out his spelling words, do a tad of maths and even joined in for a little bit of outdoor play and singing a frog song!
