Learning New Hobbies - Special Needs day in the life 

We have another video for Friday!

Luke gets distracted so easily it wasn’t a surprise that he fell in, he wasn’t in danger so all we could do was laugh.

I am glad you are able to use the skills with the kids you work with, do you have any suggestions for us?

@@JustADifferentLife with my students we start with laundry match, line up and fold socks. Shirt on hanger. Clothes pin clothes to hanger (eventually to hang wet clothes), and using a folder to fold shirts. Also work on using a spray bottle to clean flat and vertical surfaces. Using hands to sweep crumbs off table. Start with hand broom and dust pan to sweep first Pom poms as don’t react as fast and move to beads and erasure tops before food fir fun way to learn grading needed for different foods on floor and then move to standing broom when get idea of concept. Work on teeth brushing and hair brushing tolerance. Work on hand washing and hair washing with a shower mirror so see soapy hair. For kitchen work on cutting with knife first on play down, sorting silverware, and measuring rice first. Those are some but you are probably already doing. Also work on zipper, buttons, snaps, buckles, shoes/socks, gloves and hats. Try to find out from families how they would like their child to help at home to be more independent. Have even done sorting dark and light for wash.

I hope that your seizures are kept under control and you don’t have to experience many.
