Aidan Update

Hi Everyone:

Aidan started his services this week for his diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), which is on the Autism Spectrum. He will get intense Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA) therapy two times a day, 5 days a week, for 90-minutes each session. So he gets it every morning and again every evening. It will work on everything from speech to social interaction to daily living skills (maybe I can bribe them to potty train him and Michaela too). haha

He is already making better eye contact and starting to say a few more words (Ma, choo choo, ball on a regular basis, wee when being pushed on the swing, and understands what GO means and when to use it) in only three short days. The teachers are great and the one who teaches him every morning also does our Parent Training once a week for an hour for the next 6-months. He is responding well and enjoys seeing his teachers. They are working as I write this on identifying body parts and animals.

I will continue to update this site often as it is a good outlet for me to write what's happening (somewhat theraputic) and it's a great way to keep you all updated.

Much love,
Suzanne
