Angela's biggest goals were based on social skills: Learning cooperative play, developing imaginative play skills (I think she's mastered this now. LOL) Speech/language: anwering appropriatly when asked, "What's your name?" etc. Following 2 step directions, speaking 3 word sentences. Moving from sign to speaking (she only spoke about 10 words, but had over 600 signs) Her fine motor goals were holding a pencil with a 3 point grasp, refinging her pincer grasp, cutting within 1/2 inch of a straight line. coloring within the lines (still haven't mastered this because she doesn't like coloring, she just likes obsessively moving the crayon around on the paper.) Large motor: learning to run, jumping with 2 feet off the floor, initiating going to the bathroom (this is something we're STILL working on!) __________________ ~Leah~ mom to Noah 18, Tyler 17,Angela 9 (DS) downcues.com
