We’re already into week three of the term, and it’s hard to believe how quickly the time is flying by.
This week we’ve included a photo of Nevaeh’s special wall in her classroom, which helps her peers see what she’s been up to throughout the day, as mentioned in a previous post.
One thing we’ve really noticed lately is how naturally drawn Nevaeh is to nurturing and caring for babies. We’ve been leaning into this interest as an opportunity to build on those lovely innate caregiving skills. With some dolls, a crib, stroller, and other baby items added into the space, it’s been an absolute hit. When Nevaeh first saw the crib, she immediately went over, said “sleep,” and carefully tucked the baby into bed. Such a cool moment to witness.
Nevaeh is also forming some really nice friendships with Jackson and Dakota, which has been wonderful to see grow over the past few weeks.
She’s also been doing some practice for cross country, which was a great lead-up to yesterday’s event. Nevaeh completed her lap in the sunshine and absolutely loved it.
Olivia has also been doing some fantastic work with Nevaeh using the mirror to support conversations around body parts, integrating lots of speech and language opportunities while focusing on identification and communication.
I’ve honestly been so impressed by everything Olivia and Jackie have been doing to support Nevaeh while we are without specialists. From physio and occupational therapy through to speech and language support, they’ve both done an incredible job making sure Nevaeh’s needs continue to be well met. Thank you so much, ladies.
