Julia has never really had a “summer off“. We are always working on something; and this summer it’s occupational therapy to help her do things that typical kids take for granted.
What follows is a small vignette of what she’s been working on with her OT, Miss Courtney…
The Task as a Game…
Trial and Observation…
Coaching…
Adjustment… (the seminal image, in my mind)
Support…
Encouragement…
Celebration. 
So this is the cycle. Countless times until she gets it…
And with skilled encouragers like Courtney, she will.
