Acquire, Day 15

Now that we're nearing the end here, Reggi's been working very hard on getting Maddy to use her thumb and pointer fingers. Today, Maddy got her thumb to stand up all by herself!


Every time Maddy masters a new skill, she changes it to make it more difficult. Holding toy coins was very difficult last week, this week Reggi is having Maddy pick them up from the floor....



...and then stick them in a piggy bank.



As part of pulling puzzle pieces out, Reggi is also working on Maddy's supination (being able to turn her palm face up.) This is still really difficult for Maddy but she's getting better at it.




We're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel here. Our big hope now is that Maddy can carry all these skills home to her regular life.
