I can see that Andrew is more alert when I call his name. Before, I would always call his name more than three times before he responded to my request. The other day he had broken something in the house and he felt very bad. He started to say what I did, and he kept repeating it over and over – I told him to go to his room so he could calm down. When I went to check on him he was using the breathing techniques to calm himself. I was very surprised.
The worksheets he does in school always used to have comments from the school aide. I noticed before he needed help tracing his letters or numbers. Now the comments are “great job – did on his own," etc. I rate his overall improvement from start of treatment as excellent.
