spelling

If you ever need Max's attention, all you need to do is start spelling a word. He instantly pays attention and begins finger spelling right along with you. It's so interesting. He can be so "removed' from the world so much of the time, but spelling and counting bring him right back. While I would prefer more interactive communication, spelling together is quite enjoyable too. And recently counting is a comfort activity for him as well...he must count to 10 at least 100 times a day. (We are working on converting that to actual counting.)

Sent this list tonight to his education and therapy team:
