It would be of great help, if you could provide some information about that method. I was wondering if i could contact you? or you can email me - shubhagao@gmail.com<br /><br />Thank you in advance.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Shubhadeepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11758916535600171702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27546414.post-30826863570298340072014-04-30T14:35:41.201-07:002014-04-30T14:35:41.201-07:00Shasta, I am sorry you are feeling so sad...Being ...Shasta, I am sorry you are feeling so sad...Being a fellow mom of twins, one typically developing, one with ASD diagnosis/motor difficulties, I completely empathise with your frustration and need to vent. Sometimes it gets too much, doesn't it? But please, rest assured you are doing a great job for Malachi. You're a great mom and the best advocate for your son!!! I will send you a loooong Email to share with you some insights, based on what I have learned lately on my own journey with Nathan. We have stopped ABM and embarked on a different method with him, with absolutely amazing results. I wish so much that Malachi would benefit from it as well...In the meantime, hang in there...Going now to write the promised Email :-) Love from Norway, FernandaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654053673588469344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27546414.post-75294349274483434842014-04-28T01:53:47.288-07:002014-04-28T01:53:47.288-07:00I also want to tell you: Don't hesitate to cha...I also want to tell you: Don't hesitate to change whatever you don't like and try new things, doctors , therapists,until you find the ones that feel right. I was afraid too, to make changes, I was forced to make changes but finally it worked out for the best.<br />The choices I have to make for my son are so many and the responsibility is heavy on my shoulders, if I 'm doing the right thing, take the right decisions, employ the right therapists, you know...<br />Everyone does his best, but it's a lot for a human being. Only God knows what's best for everyone of us, including our Children. We pray to bring that in front of us.anna kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334793378394258816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27546414.post-89239538939894714932014-04-28T00:50:47.847-07:002014-04-28T00:50:47.847-07:00Good morning

Last October, for some reason we changed our son' s therapist. The new therapist also uses the Bobbath method, but in a different way. We saw much more progress in these few months. Also we changes our therapist for occupational therapy, the Progress is spectacular. We also saw great progress with hippotherapy.anna kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334793378394258816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27546414.post-81326099425641140182014-04-27T17:27:53.109-07:002014-04-27T17:27:53.109-07:00First let me say I am no expert but you seem to be...First let me say I am no expert but you seem to be doing a great job. And I'm going to throw something out here. Given Malachi's very high cognitive abilities maybe it's time, or time soon, to get his input into floortime work. Having him help you set the goal and actual time on the floor and what he thinks May help him best. 3.5 is still a little young for this,but given how bright he is, it's something to think about.

Incidentally, I came over here to link up Malachai's giggly first time in his power chair. I'm rounding up so mobility posts and I LOVED that one. Maybe go back and treat yourself to that precious giggle.<br />HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27546414.post-80396158766580947712014-04-27T09:09:37.197-07:002014-04-27T09:09:37.197-07:00I feel your pain, but in my case it isn't move...I feel your pain, but in my case it isn't movement, it's speech. I'm so, so, so, so, so tired of Nathan saying "This" for just about everything. Or saying, "Ma" instead of "Mama", "See" instead of "Sissy", "Day" instead of "Daddy", "Pa" instead of "Papa", "Be" instead of "BeBe" - the list goes on and on. And it's not that he CAN'T say Papa and Bebe and Mama and so on, it's that he WON'T. I read blogs and articles about speech and 95% (I'm being generous - it's closer to 100) of what they recommend is stuff that we already do and have been doing for a long time. <br /><br />And don't even get me started on the potty... ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332891322312545635noreply@blogger.com
