The family had spend a fruitful and memorable first 3 days of Chinese New Year celebration in M'sia at gandmother(Po Po)'s house. Life was blissful for the little STAR when he got to play, eat, do some worksheet exercises and had his hair cut as well by his 4th auntie.
Our little Star had his first outing for the Term "Lets Have Fun", it was a group activities held indoor at Grassroot Club with about 8-9 childrens and their care-givers. Our little Star was ok at the initial stage where the demand for social & communciation was low, but however once environment gets a little noisy and distraction saps in from the open & with the increase demand for social and receptive communciation, he started to get social disconnected and loss his engagement with his desire for repetitive play or visual stim during the actitivity.
Had reflected upon the experience and shared with his OT, who is doing more regulation work, listening, waiting and control his emotions these days to teach and bring him back to our world. Little STAR & I had also made 1 HVD greeting script to take this blessing of giving and wishing to his teachers.
Recent development of our little STAR has brought much awareness to himself and his desire to be independence or have some say may lead to some inappropriate behavior, if we do not correct his perceptive thinking immedately. We just need to be patience in identifying them & teaching him how to expand his sentence or use his words to say "no thanks", "I don't want", "excuse me", "I need help" etc...instead of raising his voice or screaming.
His therapy for speech and other special needs have also been progressing, we will explore pair/group work opportunity to improve his attention in group via kindermusiz or therapy session once he is more regulated. The close collaboration among different service providers and parental involvement could be the 2 main factors that can make a real impact to the program success and ultimately to the child's benefits.
We had also added 2 routine/habit to teach Fabian:-
1) In tidying his bed first thing he gets up
2) Identifying days of the week and calendar of the month then write into his todays chart
It was another awesome learning journey and fulfilling month for the little STAR.
