Kim comfortable and wanting to be 1:1 today. I explained safety and length of time and that I’d come right in. She wanted magazines, scissors, and glue. I got her set up and reminded of safety with tools then stepped out.
Sit in other seat is better for control and safety.
Sam seems cheery. Helping glue.
Has scissors near her, but not using. Then used.
Read her notes – careful of making assumptions – ask why doing certain things…
Ex: “She seems very bored/bored”
Sam’s incessant requests for food
My talking non stop, Sam only commenting about eating lunch.
Sam’s higher and more consistent agitation.
What were her thoughts in these areas? May I explain my intentions…
Sam grabbed a different magazine. Those aren’t to cut.
Sam cutting and putting in box. Kim flipping through, looking at what Sam is doing, and commenting some. Lots of Kim giggling. Sam smiling a lot or at least calm.
Kim did not respond to request for popsicle tube.
Make observations, not assumptions, and ask lots of questions.
Explained what bunny is and that she always has it by her.
Do you have cell phone – if so text is great.
When noticing more agitation or even less cheeriness, be ready in case she starts getting heightened. Watch scissors carefully.
Bunny – put in notes.
Hi Susan,
Just wanted to mention again that if you guys want to join for the Easter activities at church tomorrow, we’d love to have you. Plan to come right at 10. Either way, have a great day!!
