Not much to report around here. OT once a week, alternating with her OT and the assistant. Still waiting on the PT referral (again, sigh. I waste so much time waiting for these things!) She is going back to her original PT, armed with new exercises and routines. We own the discs that we liked now, so G gets to pick every other week what we switch to. She really prefers the Mozart, so she likes to alternate between the 2 discs we have. I might encourage her to move on to some Baroque or Back next week when we switch.

Med changes have been the only thing we’ve done lately. We made the switch from Concerta to Vyvanse when the Concerta seemed to wear off too soon, esp. considering it’s long acting. The Vyvanse has been great. We tried to up her dose, but it seemed to make her off label side effects go out of control and actually interfere with her work, so we went back down to her original dose. So far so good! Only one day of nail picking since then.

We’re also experimenting with weighted animals (much more her style than a weighted vest of plain animal). At school she has a cat, and we are getting a dog for home. Her teacher is very good with communication, so I really feel like everyone is on the same page.
