Our last assesment was Tuesday, June 19. She has continued with the regression, which I find not all that exciting to report. But restructuring is part of the process as it is in any situation that you reorganize. I try to remember that when we clean out the garage, things look worse before they look better....and in the big scheme of things, it is positive to be in this process of restructuring.

Here is where I wil be posting all of her scores. I will begin with the earliest and move to the latest.

Bumps in the Road

Paige has now been doing Dore for 12 weeks. When we were at our last assesment 6 weeks ago, Sara, program specialist, warned me that sometime in the near future Paige may get grumpy and irratable and it may last a week or two. I had felt we had breezed through this because we had not noticed any change in her behavior other than her acting very babyish for awhile in there. That is also normal as the brain reorganizes itself....the person goes through periods of regression. The regression seems to be over but we are now noticing a very stubborn girl, and a grumpy, irratable girl!
I guess I am glad we are getting proof of progress and going through all of the normal phases.
We go for her next assesment on Tuesday.
