Official Psychologist results for Isaac

Isaac's Behavior Rating Scale results:
- Extremely low range for Conceptual skills (ex:communication)
- Extremely low range for Social skills
- Extremely low range for Practical skills
-Relative strength in community use domain.( Knowing we are home when drive into driveway)
-Severe range for deficiencies in reciprocal social behavior.

Diagnosis: 1. Autism Spectrum Disorder
                  2. Language Disorder (Severe expressive and receptive delay)

I will at some point post thoughts/feelings/whatever on a separate post right after this one.

Verbal and written recommendations for Isaac for now:
-There's no such thing as too much therapy for Isaac right now. The more the better.
-DT, OT, ABA and Speech. Do them all as much as possible.
-Speech therapy was recommended by Speech evaluator for twice a week, Psychologist recommends daily therapy sessions in speech.
-Enroll Isaac in a developmental preschool environment as soon as possible.

Isaac has speech one time a week as of now. He also has DT once a week for an hour now. He is now on Melatonin at night to help him sleep.

These are the basics that we have right now.
Developmental Therapist is working on Isaac's fine motor skills this week, as well as communication. We have been working with him on signs. Last week we were taught 4 signs (All done, more, please and thank you). He has not mastered these yet. We have been taught another 4 (want, drink, eat, and help). He has not mastered these yet.

There's the facts! Emotional post coming soon!
