This past week I received a call from Karyn Parker, the mother of one of Christopher's friends from Lassiter, Chloe. Karyn has a close friend Ann, who is a speech therapist who would like to work with Christopher. Ann, we are so excited and grateful.
He needs as much stimulation as possible, especially where it comes to speech. There are times when he seems shy about trying to speak. He'll shake his head no instead of trying, like he is embarrassed because the words won't come. We can't wait to hear him talk, I know he is bursting to say something, anything.
Friday afternoon Christopher had his scheduled neuro-feedback session. Once again we were watching the video Cars2. You could tell He was much more comfortable and focused.
At the end of each session Ryan always shows us the track graph of Christopher's brainwaves. She explained that Christopher's session was the best performance so far. She also pointed out you would see very little difference in his scan if compared to a scan from someone not subjected to a head injury.
This next week the plan is to move the training focus to the frontal lobes of the brain, plays a huge role in controlling speech. Looking forward to more surprises to come.
