Good Attitude

Well, after last week's disappointing results, Harry has been very motivated and has had great attitude to the exercises - often asking to do them. I feel more changes are going on - he is usually a very quiet, placid boy, but this week has been getting into trouble at school with supply teachers for misbehaviour in the classroom. Obviously has more to say for himself these days :)

Not much change - bit disappointing really, but not surprised based on Harry's recent attitude and having the holiday without the wobble board and proper bouncing. Progress seems to be slow and steady. Having said that, the past few days have seen maturity, speech improvement (less stammering) and general calmness.

Eye-tracking: Smooth pursuit was practically spot on, and only 4 reds on the Saccades with two nearly green, so just a bit more work to do with the eyes, hence the light-bulbs, so we can really concentrate on the eyes.

Balance Machine: Harry is able to do No.3 as he can do it with his eyes closed, but the appointment was early and he was tired and this could be a factor. The next appointment is in the afternoon on one of Harry's Inset days off school.

Back from holiday

Just got back from a very relaxing holiday in the Canaries. We only took the bean bags and poster, but probably should have packed the wobble board as we found ourselves skipping a few exercises to get to those we were able to do - hopping in a circle was particularly difficult! Harry had a wonderful time and made loads of friends. This holiday seems to have matured him and his confidence is soaring as he got involved in everything going. I particularly noticed that when he played water polo, he stayed with the entire game, rather than wandering off when he'd had enough. We have an assessment next week, so will post more later.
