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.
