We are seeing some great benefits from the intensive therapy that Meredith is getting three times a week. It’s called Interactive Metronome and is exactly like it’s name. She listens to a cowbell metronome through headphones and has to keep its beat. A trigger is on her hand (and is on the floor for when she uses her feet to keep the beat) and measures how accurately she claps with the bell. The computer scores her accuracy. Her scores have recently improved a lot, and it’s improving her attention span and motor control quite a bit. We’ve also seen better behavior and she’s getting better following multi-step commands and answering questions. I’m hoping we see these great results take place in school too and can gradually lengthen her time there over this next semester.

glad to see that meredith is progressing so well. i check periodically and it seems the postings are good! i hope you had a great christmas and that the new year will bring you happiness and health and the perserverance to help meredith return to full speed as rapidly as possible. connee
