Yesterday Rhett got to ride the bus for the first time on a field trip to the Irvine zoo! We rode the train. Saw mountain lions eagles and even got to touch a possum!

I'm so thankful that is in a school where he is given the chance to be independent! I got this text from his aid today!
Completely independent, he drew himself with his walker, "next to a shelter, holding a heart balloon, standing on grass with a water source. " 💜 Taking a step back and letting your child struggle to do things independently is hard but watching them succeed is so rewarding!

Rhett independently drew the stem and face on his Jack-o'-lantern in class today! He's so determined and focused at school. It's been a process but we're getting all of the support and tools for Rhett to be as independent as possible!! I'm so proud of him!

Working on motor skills with our new fluffy bunny! Rhett loves animals and incorporating them into therapy make it so much fun!

Rhett’s been working on different grasps to get the best control when he colors. He independently changed his grasp and stayed mostly in the lines while coloring hulk!!
