Therapy Update


Camden had a great PT session yesterday. We didn't get pics of it, but I put a pic of the kind of walker he's graduating up to. Most of you are familiar with his "Pony Walker". But the walker pictured is a step up, and blends all the areas Lisa has been working on: stabilizing while standing + "one, two" stepping. A first: He took a few steps without any human assistance, just relying on the walker! It took much pep-talking, though. Camden lately is fussy and whiny--it's obviously hard work and he doesn't want to do it, I don't blame him! But we're trying to correct that behavior when it happens.
His speech therapist says he is more verbal now, experimenting with more sounds.
And we're starting to work on his communication board, which will allow him to point to his choice of 2 items at a time to communicate what he wants.
(Look in the smaller picture...Camden backs into this walker and his arms are strapped down w/ velcro for support).
