H. is doing well at school! She has brought all of her grades up to a A or B with the exception of spelling, where she has (barely) a C. She is doing much better about writing down her assignments and completing her assignments, though I have to stay on top of her about that. She is still having trouble following verbal instruction at school, and still gets bored easily (maybe because she isn't understanding most things?). Because of this we are starting the Integrated Listening system which her therapist recommended. It was pricey, but it has the complete program which is about 2 years worth of therapy. And it isn't too hard. She listens to a program for an hour a day, and spends 15 minutes of that hour doing some exercises (one of which is a balance board, which she LOVES) and some time getting a massage. Other than that we just have to tell her she can't wrestle with her brothers while having this expensive equipment attached to her :-)
I'll keep you updated as to whether it seems to have any affect. One of the frustrating things about this and similar programs is it is hard to find reviews on them that aren't company sponsered. Maybe this blog will help.
