It's been a while since I've got here and gave an update. Jace had been upset before I got to talk to his BCBA yesterday afternoon. She was helping deescalate before hopping onto our meeting.
Jace didn't get to earn his reward this week. He was working towards the night at the museum movies. It was a three pack movie deal. Ms Kristen said she sat with him and explained to him why he wouldn't be getting it. He wasn't upset then.
He had minor property destruction this week and instances where he did push peers and scream. She said she wasn't too worried about the screaming, we all need a lil scream every now and then. Lol A lot of it is due to others being in his personal space or when others on the unit are in crisis.
He's been working on the communication device more. Commands will need increased use to get his reward. He's scanning and using buttons and does the buttons independently.
Had crying behavior but did go to school all week. She will assist Jace's teacher, Iris, in the classroom with the computer. They're hoping he will get to use the device full time, soon, if everything goes good.
Jace loves staff. But seems bothered with the others on the unit. They will have peers deliver reinforcements to Jace so that he hopefully gets more comfortable with them as well.
Over all he's doing very well and even talked about working towards requisites for future employment. She truly believes he could eventually hold a job on his own! π Made my heart so happy to hear that.
When I got to talk to Jace last night he told me he wanted to be Woody for Halloween. They're gonna get him a costume and the unit will have some fun stuff for them to do.
Jace was on the phone with me for about 45 minutes. He's been getting upset after that 30 minute mark. He's wanting me to make an appointment and come on. His cries makes me want to cry, sometimes I do. π
Our next quarterly meeting is on the 13th of November.
I had asked about a coat and was told to get with Ms Lisa, unit supervisor, for any clothing needs. They have a clothes closet type of deal or we can put monies in his account and they can take him shopping. βΊοΈ
I love hearing about the progress he's making. Can't wait to visit my baby soon! ππ
