Occupational THerapy Day 6

Cindy took a "Watch Wait Wonder" approach to learning about Jake on Tuesday. She let him lead a lot and then trying to figure out why he does what he does. For instance, turn-taking games are too overwhelming for Jake, even simple ones. For instance, he was kick kick kicking his feet in the air for fun, so Cindy laid beside him and kick kick kicked her legs too. He would go, then she would go. He liked the game, but it was just too much for him. After 3 or 4 turns he had to escape and run do something else. This pattern continued with other things.

I am learning a lot about Jake and always interested in what insight Cindy will have next. Thursday we are going to meet at the park and she wants to see how I interact with Jake on a daily basis. It should be fun.
