simply me...

had another eval of joshua from his therapist at perpetual help. the first eval was "suspect autism spectrum disorder" but now he has a diagonis of "autism spectrum disorder".

findings said:

joshua was accompanied at the clinic by his parents, brother and his caregiver. He was holding a bottle of milk and was roaming around the room and checking on things. He refused to come with the therapist but once he saw the play area he stopped crying and roam around the room.

he was last initially seen by Dr. Cielo Malijan last Sept 8, 2008 as referred by the Communicare Therapy Center for Children. He was already receiving OT sessions at the said center before they were seen by the doctor. He first received his inital evaluation at the said center having a twice a week session and was only able to attend 4 sessions. He was then transferred to Tiny Tykes Play Shop on an 8 session weekend toddler program from November 2008 to February 2009 in which the kid was able to finish the program. He is currently enrolled at First Walk on a regular school as nursery. (just talked with his teacher and recommended he stop schooling and resume his therapies instead =( which is hard to accept.)

Recommendations for OT made were the following : address work behaviours (inattention, lack of eye contact, hyperactivity, non-response when called. etc) and problems in sensory integration (prefers milk and solids),fine motor, social skills training, and cognitive stimulation.

all these had to be addressed which gave me so much pain =(

Dear God

Thank you for all these trials, i humble ask for forgiveness for all the bad things ive done consciously and unconsciously.

We love you.

Chai and family
