Summer is being seen regularly by her OT and PT. They visit her at at her school. She is working on goals with her core strength. It is always amazing to me because she has defined abs when she flexes, but there are discrepancies between her left and right in terms of strength. Yesterday we were getting dressed and she says to me "Mommy, this is my weaker side." About a month ago, she referred to her right hand as her "silly hand".
Summer shares an EA at school and she is AMAZING. She provides support to Summer and another little boy who has CP and is in a wheelchair. Summer and the little boy have become great friends. There are two therapeutic tricycles at the school, so often when it is too cold or wet to go outside, or they need a break from the classroom, Summer and her buddy get to ride the halls on their trikes.
We are starting to discuss CIT again and will likely undertake a casting period this spring. We are starting to get the details worked out - given her therapist's a heads up, next week will discuss with the school, etc. Since Summer is in school full time and has an EA, she is already in a fully supported environment, so I am thinking I won't need to look into additional supports - but we'll have to see how it goes over with her school.
