7/14/10-Will she go?

The goal of today was to get Kenz to go back by the bookcase and underneath the desk. It seemed like such a silly goal but it was something that Kenz needed to do. With SM I now realize how sometimes I take the simple little tasks for granted. What seems so simple to some is quite complex for others. I can easily ask another coworker for help with a lesson plan yet Kenz cannot even tell daycare workers that she wants to do an certain activity. A simple task like taking Kenz to the park can lead to a total shut down from her. However the importance of exposure is the key. We cannot force it upon Kenz but we need to slowly work it in. Sometimes it will be inch by inch, literally. Today the dr was slowly rolling the ball or at times the wind up toy so it would inch closer to underneath the desk. Once it got to a certain point, she refused to go and get it.
