Richard was seen in his room for a 45-minute treatment session. His session focuses on improving his postural control, integration of retained reflexes, visual motor skills and integration, fine motor skills, dexterity, manipulation, ocular motor development and graphomotor development/keyboarding as an alternative means to written communication. Began today's session with cursive handwriting practice. Since Richard has learned every letter of the cursive alphabet he was asked to write words by connecting letters today to make his mom a Mother's Day coupon book. When provided with visual and verbal cues Richard was able to write in cursive slowly and methodically. This style of writing will take practice before it becomes functional but his end result was beautiful and he was proud of his writing. He continues to require specific cues to loop his letter like cursive "l and e" backwards but overall seems to grasp the movements involved in writing in script. Great session.

Richard reviewed phonics rules with Splash Learn on the computer. He read books with words he can read. He met with Kellan to read Dog Man together.

Session began with stretching to bilateral claves, followed by walking around playground with a focus on heel to toe gait pattern. Student with good carryover today. Minimal verbal cues required to correct form. Session also focused on balance and coordination. Student tolerated well.

Richard and I worked together to create a design for a custom hoodie.

I worked with Richard to find 3d models, convert them to work with his printer, and print out physical units.

I asked Richard to come up with a list of advice he would share with students in younger grades before he left for his eye therapy appointment, but he said he would think about it and share his thoughts tomorrow. Instead, we fed the chickens, cleaned the tank, and gave them water. He took home some of his belongings beforfe he left for the day.

Richard had a great session today. He worked on reading comprehension passages today with increasing vocabulary. Richard did a nice job focusing on the paragraphs. He was hesitant to attempt to read them. 90% accuracy
