sensory surprises

a plateau of sorts.

after two weeks of astonishing progress with the kidbot, this week was, well… meh.

we had tantrums.  we had a whole day of a little boy with horns and a forked tail.  it is undeniable that the kidbot was a handful, and both the husbot and i were tired.  it was also the first week that he was back in ESD after a summer break. i’m sure that the introduction of new kids, a new routine, and a new teacher all played into what was an exhausting week for all of us.

this is not to say that he fully regressed or anything.  all in all, he was still more communicative than he was just a few short weeks ago.  but it seemed we had to work harder to get him to focus.

one the upside, the teacher at the ESD said that she wanted to get the kidbot reassessed.  she thinks that he still qualifies for services, but that he is far more advanced then the plan he is currently on.
