I attended a seminar on sensory integration & communication at Sanjay's. I am amazed when i found out that in order for an individual to communicate, you will need a whole lot of stuffs to function together. For example, have to be able to stay compose/calm, be able to relate & read the facial expression of the person you wanna talk to, be able to organize yourself & have ideas on what you need to say, etc. Now i understand why communication & language don't come easy for those with developmental disorder, as a lot of their body function is not in order, it's not supporting each other well. Thus, resulting in jumble up of sensations & make them do or say something odd ot the rest of the world.
From there, i also learnt that Darren falls under "under aroused" category, as he is hyperactive, his anxiety is high whenever he sees something he doesn't like & he can't stay focus on one task.And i realised now why sometimes he runs from room to room for a good 25 mins without stopping, according to sanjay, it's because he is not given any task or activity to occupy himself with. So, I decided, maybe i will try out the brushing on him again starting from tomorrow. We have to try everything we can, as long as it will not do him any harm. I will try to implement floor time play activity with him 3 to 4 times per day, 30 mins each time. That's my resolution starting from Monday. I want to see result, We want to succeed in helping Darren, so I have to do this no matter how hard I find it to be, as he doesn't really wanna do anything for long with me. He likes to step on my legs and pulls my hair.........
Went to Jin Jing's place today for spaghetti. Quite yummy "yum yum". Thanks Mr & Mrs Ng for the invite. And, I am not sure if the food was prepared by our god daughter? Too bad I had to go late, because the seminar ended at 9 PM. But the kids are really noisy in playing games, until neighbor comes to the door. So malu!
Woah! It's Sunday again. Ah Bee going to tumble tots in the morning, and in the afternoon is Ah boy's ST session at Citris (not sure if she will cancel the class again tomorrow? hehe). Because I am craving for "Kolo Mee" near Citris. Yum yum, it tastes like my hometown. Yeah, I miss my hometown foods always.
Mrs. Mohan from PCS JW was telling me that she wanna go to Fei Yue on Monday to see how Ah boy is doing over there. I consulted Vivian Lau, the head psychologist at Fei Yue, she said they would like Mrs. Mohan to write email or phone her, so they will see when it's convenient. Yeah, I think that's the way too. Will have to tell Mrs. Mohan on Monday morning.
Ah boy refuses to sit at all at PCS JW, but he can sit for 20 mins doing his table tasks at Fei Yue. That's why Mrs. Mohan is puzzled & wanna see how Fei Yue makes him sit. hehe
