Matthew was absent today.

Andrew was absent today with illness

Andrew and I briefly discussed what we would do early next year and also followed up on his assignment.

Andrew and I went in depth on electoral politics and how we elect a president. We discussed the fifty state popular votes and how states assign electoral votes. We reviewed presidential election history and discussed the electoral maps in 2020, 2024 and in the past in 1984-2000.

Andrew and I reviewed the previous day's discussion and also went in depth into conversation about 1st amendment and its application to internet privacy, access and speech. What rights if any do people online have? Does social media have a positive discourse or not? Can that discourse be restricted?

Andrew and I met for the first time. We discussed interest in politics and governance and picked up where Andrew left off. We studied the 1, 4 and 13th Amendments and the concept of the Bill of Rights.

Luke was seen in his room for a 45 minute occupational therapy treatment session. Focus of treatment was on improving his bilateral integration/hand usage, fine motor development, graphomotor skills, postural control and sensory processing/organization for improved general performance in various environments. Luke and OT listened to holiday music and painted a pictured canvas. Luke painted a picture of two avocadoes and OT painted a cup of hot chocolate to hang on Luke's wall. Hot chocolate is to remind him to practice his hot cocoa breathing when he starts to feel angry or frustrated. Luke was happy and participated well during his OT session today. Good session...
