ABA Therapy Takes No Holidays

Nor does it observe Sundays either. Yesterday he had 2 three hour sessions. Today he had therapy from 9:00 until noon. They came back at 1:00, staying until 6:30. This is a very long day for Eric. So far he is handling it very well. Taking breaks outside definately helps :-) He has been on an off here lately when it comes to tolorating therapy. The last couple of weeks have been good. The 2 weeks before were really bad with the tantrums, ect. I've found that it helps if I feed him well before they start. It goes better when he sleeps well at night, but that can be hard to control. I wish I had a solution to that one! Eric will be going to summer school for a little over a month. It is 4 hours a day, 4 days a week. They will try to bring his therapy to around 35 hours a week. These long days are something we are going to have to get used to. It seems as if Eric never gets a break, but I know in the long run it is worth it. He has made so much progress. The hard work is really paying off. Way to go Eric!!!
